FWI:  You'll probably have better luck with the KL/DL interface.   And it's already in the system, since the console is on the first one.

# cp hptmconf myconfnf
# echo 3kl >> myconf

If you are really adventurous with simh, then configure the DH11 and it's associated DM11 interface, which from a performance standpoint work a lot better and have all the RS-232 signals supported [which is something one of the PiDP folks was recently trying to get going].

# echo 2dh >> myconf

# echo dhdm >> myconf

hello all,

i am a new unix user, so please excuse my ignorance.

I am trying to setup using unixV7 with simh pdp11 emulator. The guide i am following is by Will Senn (in PDF form). I have been able to successfully get the machine to boot with unix, and login as root. what i am having problems with, is trying to get telnet access via dci to work. when i follow the guide and do the following:

# cd /usr/sys/conf
# rm l.o c.o
# cp hptmconf myconfnf
# echo 4dc >> myconf
# mkconf < myconf
# make
as - -o l.o l.s
cc -c c.c
ld -o unix -X -i l.o mch.o c.o ../sys/LIB1 ../dev/LIB2
# sum unix
10314
 106
# ls -l unix
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root
 54122 Dec 31 19:09 unix

etc...

when i issue the mkconf < myconf command, i get a bunch of text printed out, but with a 'root device not found'. the sum unix value is different, as well as the size of the ls -l unix file size.. now when i try booting it with the newly created mboot.ini file (as per the guide), i go to start up the system with 'hp(0,0)munix' and it starts but hangs with the text 'fault devtab'

what am I doing wrong?

regards,
