Still seeking 3B2 information

Current status is pretty much the same as it was in January. The simulator can boot the 3B2/400 firmware, pass diagnostics, and read directories from virtual floppy disks. Unfortunately, it can't get much beyond that -- trying to boot the UNIX kernel still fails miserably. I'd hoped to have much better progress to share, but Real Life intervened by throwing me several major curve-balls in the first half of this year, and it's only now that things are really starting to settle down. Even so, two things are still really holding me up: 1. Lack of good documentation for the system design of the 3B2 2. Lack of access to a physical 3B2 I hope to get #2 sorted out soon(-ish), so I can run a 3B2 with a logic analyzer attached. There's still some mystery surrounding some system timers and interrupts that I need to figure out before I can really make progress. I'd still love to get #1 sorted out, too. There are some 3B2 internals docs on their way to Al Kossow that I hope will get scanned in the next few months, I think that would help greatly. Best Wishes, -Seth
