My God! I just looked at the PDP11 console on the OSX SimH.
It's beautiful. I use the PDP8 Xwindows emulator by Doug Jones... but I've
always felt the PDP11 needed something similar. I wish I could code enough
to do the full front panel in software for SimH.
Nice work.
Just wish I had a Mac newer than the 68030 in the IIfx downstairs.

Which says it includes Doug's and my work (in V0.9 or later).
'Tis true. I'm not much of a computer gamer but I do enjoy playing
the occasional game of Lunar Lander on my Mac.

Thanks, appreciate the comment.

Yeah, that just won't work for this program :-)
Although... I do still have an fx in the garage; maybe I should
resurrect my original simh port? No, when I moved to Carbon, I
ditched the old Mac OS code for good. Sorry.

Hi John,
Dundas-mac is timing out for me here in the uk, is it a US office hours type
machine?
Thanks,

Ok, based on Bill waxing ecstatic there, I've gotta see this.

Oh My.
Oh yes, that most certainly IS a fine piece of work. Anyone
running simh on a Mac should really see this. Very impressive!

Easy: just run the program, use the Preferences menu item, select
Console, click on DataSystem 570, whoosh, the console window will
change.
BTW, someone with a real 570, or an Industrial-11, can make sure I
got those right. I have only (!) a "regular" one to measure against.

Thanks Gordon, I neither could see John's site.
I know that John has his site behind a firewall on a PC at his work,
and that certain domains are blocked. I can't see his site from the PC
at home, but can view it at work ...
I would also be very interested in his source file(s), especially the
points where he grabs the data for the LEDs of the top row.
It is probably in pdp11_cpu.c
It would save some work for my homebrew version (see
www.pdp-11.nl/homebrew/cons1170/cons70startpage.html ).

The Java-based 1620 console simulation isn't too shabby either,
although a typewriter would go toward completing the illusion... :)
