Yes, the Sun compiler. At some point, I'll see if I can get my 3/60 booted,

SCSI2SD will work emulating a streaming tape device, if at all.
Does anyone have a 3/60 hard disk image of SunOS 3.4 or 3.5, by chance?
Thanks,

Ah cool. I was at a friend's brother's house on a work trip out to Silicon
Valley. One of his friends was there, with something amazing running in
QEMU. It was a work in progress, but he said that there were a lot of
issues because QEMU was too accurate in emulating the MIPS procressors and
in addition to this, there was bugs in his former employer's hardware that
had software work-arounds in the real OS. So when trying to run that OS on
the emulated system the accuracy worked against him.
Yikes! I've been thinking, since the Previous (NeXT) emulator works so
well, what would it take to turn it into a Sun emulator? I haven't looked
at the Previous source yet, but it seems like that would be a good starting
point.
Trying to build MazeWar results in:
ld: Undefined symbol
___bb_init_func
DREG_SEG
*** Error code 2
Not sure yet what to look for, but the source does say it was tested on
SunOS 3.1 and 3.4. So, I am trying to compile it on something a bit
later.
Sun compiler I assume and not a GCC?
