Re: [TUHS] having issues with simh and setting up dci for unixV7

Hi Joseph, # cp hptmconf myconfnf # echo 4dc >> myconf looks like a typo. If you actually typed this, all that would be in myconf would be 4dc. You need the contents of hptmconf plus 4dc. Otherwise you'd be missing some important devices.
