Show the allowed bridged network devices SHOW ETHERNET, as well as the
shared/host networking modes. It also shows shared/host/device name for
bridge in i.e. "HELP XS" output as well.
Shared, bridged, and host modes have other options for configuration;
i.e. isolation, IP ranges, etc. Some of these are not well documented,
so should look into these. Bridged mode needs macOS 10.15.
On macOS, tap devices for L2 networking are not supported out of the
box. While a kext can be added to provide tap support, the kext
experience is not very good; Apple has strongly recommended against
their usage.
As a replacement that's documented and recommended, Apple introduced the
vmnet framework, intended for emulators and virtualization software
explicitly. This API requires macOS 10.10, with bridged network support
coming in macOS 10.15.
This introduces basic support for vmnet.framework in SIMH. I've tested
it by booting an emulated MicroVAX 3800 from an emulated InfoServer 150,
where it was able to reach OpenVMS 7.3 standalone BACKUP.
- Allow 3 MB RAM configuration (previously only 1MB, 2MB, and 4MB
configurations were allowed)
- Allow SCSI CIO card to be used under 3B2/400 emulation (previously
it could only be used under 3B2/700 emulation)
- Improved CTC, PORTS, and SCSI diagnostic checks
- Fixed a bug in IDISK device that allowed impossible disk
configurations
The last update is a breaking change that disables the HD161 disk
type by default, since real 3B2 hardware does not support it. The
disk type will still allowed in backward compatibility mode through
use of the "SET IDISK LARGE" command.
Only the string instructions document the registers used by the
register-form instructions. Also document the BCD register-form
instructions. Although, the operands have already been loaded into the
special-purpose instructions before the op switch, I think this
documentation is useful.
These instructions are referred to as L2Dr and L3Dr in the PDP-11/24
System Technical Manual (https://www.vt100.net/manx/details/1,23) and
their opcode strings call them L2DR and L3DR. These comments seem to be
a simple typo.
This adds the modifiers CONVERT and NOCOVERT to the HI units. When
enabled for a unit, 1822 messages will transparently be converted.
IMP-to-host messages are converted from the old, short (32-bit) format
to the new, long (96-bit) format. Host-to-IMP messages are converted
in the other direction.
The motivation for this feature, is that the currently running IMP
software is from 1974 and only supports short leaders. Some operating
systems are from a later era, and only support long leaders.
Update maOS the macos-14 runner name to macos-latest. Reduce the
runner's output when dealing with the leftover Python3 artifacts in
/usr/local.
Add the ubuntu-latest runner to the Ubuntu matrix.

Studying RSX11M source code I found out that the original RP11
controller (vs. -C and -E later versions) was still supported
in the software, and notably UMD (User Mode Diagnostics) was
still capable of handing it and dealing with its testing,
even in much later OS versions (compared to when the original
RP11 was phased out).
The change in this commit basically implements that flavor
(which only supported the RP02 drives), and also makes a few
minor fixes / cleanups for the device code, here and there.
The default mode for the RP11 controller remains the more widely
used -C/-E version, but if so desired, it can be downgraded to
support its predecessor with the "SET RR <type>" command now.
The "error" that the original change "fixed" was actually in the cmake
build system and not in the sim_ws.c code.
The Uint8 type is specific to SDL2 APIs.
- Periodic "python cmake/generate.py" to sync with makefile changes.
- Ensure that AIO_CCDEFS (makefile) and USES_AIO (CMake generate.py) are
present for PDP-10 simulators. Otherwise, user gets a warning message
when the simulator starts about network support and asynchronous I/O.
In sim_instr(), the effective address is computed; for the case of TAG
(index register addressing), the contents of the specified index register
is added to the effective address, but the result is not masked to 16
bits as per the hardware functionality.
Adding a a 16 bit mask operation fixes the issue.
