Well, I've been working (slowly, in my _spare_ spare time) on a Windows
version of VTServer (I know there is one out there, but it never worked
for me). I'm basically porting the original C code over to C# and doing
some severe cleanup/refactoring/etc. Getting rid of the 32mb limit was
one goal, I wasn't aware of the processor limitation, but I think that
would be worthwhile too. (And it should run fine on any system that can
run Mono, so I'm not leaving you Unix guys out, honest...)
One of these days I'll finish it...
"I
was thinking of using vtserver to transfer the image over a serial
line, but the 'copy' program is not compatible with my PDP-11/05 (it
uses the 'mul' and 'div' instructions which is not available on my
PDP-11/10)."
Is this the same reason why I cant get vtserver to work with my
PDP-11/04 and PDP-11/34? Has anybody else had success with this? Has anybody considered a guaranteel clean version
of vtserver that
'just ran' on all PDP-11 hardware (or is that a pipedream)?
We really need some enterprising person to spend a weekend hacking
on vtserver. Extend the file size limitations, support more target
processors, etc. I'd love to do it myself, but as with everyone else,
no time.
