HP 2000 TSB simulated?? YES! 2000 E, and F and Access have all been running. - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

18 Nov 2003

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:
