Yep, that?s the way the Access Zip launches SIMH to run Access or ?F?. The two
occurrences of SIMH are connected with a pair of sockets.
Sure, we know it?s inefficient. But just now, it?s the only way to run ?F? or Access,
without real hardware, and, they both do run under simulation, IOP and all!
I had a guest come over this past weekend with a set of tapes and we were able
to read and reload his tapes into a running simulation. All in all, we spent 9 hours
at it, and 2 of those were spent breaking into his system.
What we ended up doing was to ?RESTORE? a $HELLO from some other HIBE
tape in order to get past his ridiculously tight security. We had a blast banging
our heads together on it, but I want to let him tell that story.
The bottom line is that Access IS ALIVE under simulation!!!!
It only gets better from here? Take the ZIP for a spin!

interesting thing we had on the access system two things actually... one was
a bbs with 100 message boards, mail system and vote and a multi user chat
that worked through writing and reading a disc file......
the other was a giant space war game that had the universe held in a
matrix in a disc file.... before I got lock feet for the 2883 we would have
to come in a kick it back into place after the local kids spent all nite
playing the game.... I wonder if my old tapes will still load.. guess I am
looking for a tape drive that will hook to a pc with controller ready to go
turnkey... any suggestions?

I would like the ability to read these, and others locally... there are so
many uses for a good tapedrive!

I posted the benchmark times from my real 2000/Access system.... care to
share the benchmark times from SIMH on the same programs?
