Subject: Migration from VAX 3100 to SIMH questions and looking for ideas
Hi,
Our 3100 is dying. Thinking of running SIMH. Big stumbling block is how
to
move the OS and files. I've used Kermit when
I've done this for RT11, but
that seems like torture for 8 Gb on two disks. Can't I just stick in a
SCSI
controller and use something like ODS2 to read
the SCSI drive and put them
into the new container? Thinking of using (probably) XP or Windows7.
Am I missing something here?
And, if I read it correctly, the only device that talks to the outside
world is
the ethernet connection in SIMH-vax. Well, that
will take care of pretty
much everything, I guesss, since we only have printers and terminals, and
I
can switch over to PCs with VT100 software.
Anybody been through this already and have some pointers?
thanks in advance
Joe Heck
Hmmm... SIMH does not support SCSI disks and so I *think* you can't have 4GB
virtual disks in SIMH.
