Hello!
Cory, yet another strange suggestion, what was your original host for
your image? Obviously SIMH for VAX but what was it running on? I was
thinking of your project a while back of running SIMH for VAX on an
RPI itself wearing a not updated release of Linux for it, and then
connected via a serial physical connection to one of your terminals.

My original host was my mac mini...nothing exciting.   It was used for staging.
Would be easy enough to shove it on an rpi though.   Might get accurate
speeds.   Once my null modem adapter arrives, I'll be able to do that easily
enough.   Delivery is estimated at tomorrow.


The idea was to have one of those serial ports as a console, the other
as a means of connecting the image to the real world.

Not sure if SIMH can attach a serial line card to a physical interface yet or not.
I know for a fact it can attach the console device to one.

FYI.   Support for directly attaching host system serial ports to the simulated console or any particular line(s) of a simh multiplexer device is available in the current codebase.   This functionality will work on most host systems which can build a simh simulator.   See HELP DZ ATTACH for details...
