Virtualizing AIX 1.3 w/additional info [LONG] - WAS::::Re: AIX for IBM PS/2

Just checked the URL again, its still working fine for me. Please see additional notes below. On 02/ 5/16 06:56 AM, Steven Hirsch wrote: Just a little follow up. I haven't been able to make a lot of progress on this yet, but I have made some. I use OpenIndiana, one of the more popular Solaris based distro's as my desktop, and I pulled down the source code for Bochs. Current version is 2.6.8 . I'm a new/never used Bochs user, and I was happy that it compiled easily, not even any warnings. Nothing too exotic on the ./configure line, but I did compile my binary with both X11 and SDL capabilities. I started going thru the Bochs docs, and although some of it was pretty basic stuff, putting together a .bochsrc file for AIX 1.3 appeared as it would have a pretty steep learning curve, and there wasn't much in the original setup document/html (Google URL above) file about this, aside from this:: .................... a ~/.bochsrc including: 8MB RAM boot floppy 0xaa55 check turned off .................... I reached out to GLee over IRC, his preferred contact method, via comments on his contact page. It turned out that he wasn't the original document author. He did reach out to the original document author and passed along my request for the contents of his .bochsrc file. That information is located here: http://hup.hu/node/95061 Here is also a cut-n-paste of the information. Hope this helps anyone else who is working on this in parallel with me.
