Migration from VAX 3100 to SIMH questions and looking for ideas

From: joe heck Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 6:38 AM I'm not going to address any further points than this. SimH is a toy. There is nothing wrong with toys, and it is a spectacular example of good toy design and implementation. You, on the other hand, seem to be in a commercial situation, with all the needs for support that entails. You really want to move to CharonVAX, a commercial program with a support organization and a network of resellers. The company provides a personal license for hobbyists which allows limited subset of configurations, which would allow you to test it before making a decision. Note that I have no relationship with the Charon* people. I'm wearing my professional systems programmer/administrator hat here, giving you my professional opinion. (Had we a contract for my opinion, you would pay a substantial, though competitive, amount for it. You're getting it gratis.)
