[HECnet] SIMH VAX Project

[Steve Davidson]

Mark,

This is how SGC:: works today.   It is running NetBSD, SimH, and VAX/VMS 7.3.   Save yourself tons of grief and use two NICs.   One NIC is for NetBSD (IP) the other is for VMS (DECnet and/or IP).   Bring the second NIC up under NetBSD but do NOT assign an IP address to it.   If you wish you can run the bridge on this same machine or run Multinet with its tunnels.

I can give you access to the SGC:: host machine so that you take a look if you wish.   Just let me know.

Regards,

-Steve

Has anyone ever run SIMH out of NetBSD? I'm curious as to how to link the Ethernet to the LAN device (ra0) on my D410 board.

It fails if I use:

attach xq ra0

OR

attach xq /dev/ra0

So not sure what to assign it to...

Hello,

the TCPIP package is on the CD, and you have to install after the installation.
Before, you have to change some system parameters.

A good guide is http://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html

Here you can find all the instructions to set up your sistem.
