My computer is up and running 24 hours. I have some particular interest
to play with the HP2000, and sould like to get the package to put it
online (and play with too).
Cheers
Sergio

Yes Mike... just to show I'm not biased against
any emulator other
thanmine... I'd be happy to put up the simh simulator running
access on the
classiccmp server. Full time connected to the net. Of course, if I
ever get
around to finishing mine up, BOTH will be available there! :)

Hi folks,
Well, the haunted house season is over and the cleanup continues.
Now I'll have more time to put into the HP2000 simulation project.
As you may remember we did get HP2000 Access running under
simulation, as
well as "E" and "F". But so
far no one is running a system full
time.>
I was running the system under Windows, but Unix
and Mac are
supported as
well. We have most all of the documentation
including the source for
Access
date code 1812, and should have most all of the
contributed
libraries.>
Would any of you have access to other HIBE tapes?
Ether in your
archivesor
in archives of data centers you used to support?
We still have more HIBE tapes that need to be converted to CD
ROM and lots
of work sorting it all.
It sure was nice the first time I launched a telnet to my
windows box and
got the "PLEASE LOG IN" prompt, and it
was even better once I
has able to
log in and play Adventure.
Since the simulation is faithful to the hardware, the original
operating>
system binaries don't even know that they are not
running on real
hardware.
I even have to use an image of the actual 2100
paper-tape bootstrap
program
to get Access running under simulation.
With this approach to the simulation, every feature, flaw (if
there were
any), or quirk is faithfully reproduced.
I'm trying to get HP to allow a hobby use open license, but
until then the
package is available only on an as needed basis.
Do you know anybody who may want to play sysop and keep a system
runningfor
the public to play with?
If so, just drop me a note.

Ps. We also did a paper on the project, which can be found here:
