I'm running simh in rather tight corners. Mostly VAX/780 and PDP-11/70 with V6 or BSD. Simh runs in a browser, or, I have (too) many of them on underpowered Asus Eee PC's. Any tips on how I can check if I have taken things too far? Like minimum values to look for in SHOW CLOCK, or any tools I can run that can be referenced against same on real kit.
I run into the same question on the I/O end. During the installation of v6 I can do dd if=/dev/mt0 of=/dev/rk1 bs=2048 count=1000 skip=1025 and it is done in a second on machine that is doing nothing else. With simh running in a browser on a small busy machine it can take up to an hour. I have no idea how to gauge how far this is off from real kit. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
