A few of you may recall that I was, some years ago,
working on a KA630
emulator and was stuck getting the ROM code to like the console SLU.
(I want to eventually get it to the point of running NetBSD/vax and
possibly other VAX OSes.)
I now have it passing POST!
Congratulations! As an avid fan of simulation and emulation, that's a
pretty cool milestone.
Just out of curiosity, what made you want to tackle the KA630? I
thought simh already had it covered -- not that there's anything wrong
with rolling another one, of course! (hell, I wrote a 6502 simulator
when there were already something like 20 free ones out there. I just
wanted the personal challenge and fun of it.)
