(from usenet) PDP-11 emulator available

Well, for those of us who cant have our own 11/34s, here's hte next best thing: Path: news.onr.com!news-out.cwix.com!newsfeed.cwix.com!newsfeed.tli.de !do.de.uu.net!f.de.uu.net!news.uni-stuttgart.de!news.ruhr-uni-bochum.de!gmd.de !gmdtub!not-for-mail From: Hartmut Brandt <brandt(a)fokus.gmd.de> Newsgroups: alt.sys.pdp11 Subject: Version 2.4 of the p11 PDP-11 emulator Date: 19 Nov 1999 15:04:33 GMT Organization: GMD-FIRST Lines: 49 Message-ID: <813ou1$lp7$1(a)freebsd.first.gmd.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: scotty.fokus.gmd.de User-Agent: tin/pre-1.4-19990805 ("Preacher Man") (UNIX) (FreeBSD/4.0-CURRENT (i386)) Xref: news.onr.com alt.sys.pdp11:644 Version 2.4 of p11 - the Begemot PDP-11 emulator - is available on ftp.fokus.gmd.de:/pub/cats/usr/harti/p11. This release supports the following platforms: FreeBSD 4.0 Sparc-Solaris 2.[5678] Redhat-Linux It will possibly work on FreeBSD [23].* and other Linux variants. To build it you need libbegemot (avalaible in the same location), gcc and gmake. Previous versions also built on BSD/OS and SunOS. A version of the emulator is run on one of our machines. Try one of the following (it may not always be available): telnet scotty.fokus.gmd.de 10000 telnet scotty.fokus.gmd.de 10001 telnet scotty.fokus.gmd.de 10002 telnet scotty.fokus.gmd.de 10003 to get connected to one of the four available terminals. If telnet connects, but this terminal is currently in use, you'll get a short message. You should then try connecting to another port. Once you are online, log into 2.11BSD with username and password guest/guest1. Don't forget to logout, before disconnecting with telnet. Note, that there is an IP connection to the host machine, but not to the outside world (this is due to IP routing restrictions in out network). The current implementation emulates a KDJ11A, one or more RLV12, RHV??, RK11 disk controllers, a boot ROM, one or more KL11A controllers, on FreeBSD and Linux a DEQNA ethernet adapter, a read-only TM11 tape and a standard line printer interface. A boot ROM (with source code) to boot from RL/RK and RP discs is included. On a 450MHz Pentium-III a full 'make world install' of 2.11BSD takes around 6 hours, which is several times faster than a real PDP. Floating point performance is even higher. The emulator hast tested with 2.11BSD, RSX and RSX-PLUS, RT V4, V[4567]-Unix and XXDP. Enjoy, Harti B.
