Notes For V3.9

Browse Source 
The makefile now works for Linux and most Unix's. However, for Solaris
and MacOS, you must first export the OSTYPE environment variable:

> export OSTYPE
> make

Otherwise, you will get build errors.

1. New Features

1.1 3.9-0

1.1.1 SCP and libraries

	- added *nix READLINE support (Mark Pizzolato)
	- added "SHOW SHOW" and "SHOW <dev> SHOW" commands (Mark Pizzolato)
	- added support for BREAK key on Windows (Mark Pizzolato)

1.1.2 PDP-8

	- floating point processor is now enabled

2. Bugs Fixed

Please see the revision history on http://simh.trailing-edge.com or
in the source module sim_rev.h.

3. Status Report

This is the last release of SimH for which I will be sole editor. After this
release, the source is moving to a public repository:

under the general editorship of Dave Hittner and Mark Pizzolato. The status
of the individual simulators is as follows:

3.1 PDP-1

Stable and working; runs available software.

3.2 PDP-4/7/9/15

Stable and working; runs available software.

3.3 PDP-8

Stable and working; runs available software.

3.4 PDP-10 [KS-10 only]

Stable and working; runs available software.

3.5 PDP-11

Stable and working; runs available system software. The emulation of individual
models has numerous errors of detail, which prevents many diagnostics from
running correctly.

3.6 VAX-11/780

Stable and working; runs available software.

3.7 MicroVAX 3900 (VAX)

Stable and working; runs available software. Thanks to the kind generosity of
Camiel Vanderhoeven, this simulator has been verified with AXE, the VAX
architectural exerciser.

3.8 Nova

Stable and working; runs available software.

3.9 Eclipse

Stable and working, but not really supported. There is no Eclipse-specific
software available under a hobbyist license.

3.10 Interdata 16b

Stable and working, but no software for it has been found, other than
diagnostics.

3.11 Interdata 32b

Stable and working; runs 32b UNIX and diagnostics.

3.12 IBM 1401

Stable and working; runs available software.

3.13 IBM 1620

Hand debug only.  No software for it has been found or tested.

3.14 IBM 7094

Stable and working as a stock system; runs IBSYS. The CTSS extensions
have not been debugged.

3.15 IBM S/3

Stable and working, but not really supported. Runs available software.

3.16 IBM 1130

Stable and working; runs available software.  Supported and edited by
Brian Knittel.

3.17 HP 2100/1000

Stable and working; runs available software. Supported and edited by
Dave Bryan.

3.18 Honeywell 316/516

Stable and working; runs available software.

3.19 GRI-909/99

Hand debug only.  No software for it has been found or tested.

3.20 SDS-940

Hand debug only, and a few diagnostics.

3.21 LGP-30

Unfinished; hand debug only. Does not run available software, probably
due to my misunderstanding of the LGP-30 operational procedures.

3.22 Altair (original 8080 version)

Stable and working, but not really supported. Runs available software.

3.23 AltairZ80 (Z80 version)

Stable and working; runs available software. Supported and edited by
Peter Schorn.

3.24 SWTP 6800

Stable and working; runs available software. Supported and edited by
Bill Beech

3.25 Sigma 32b

Incomplete; more work is needed on the peripherals for accuracy.

3.26 Alpha

Incomplete; essentially just an EV-5 (21164) chip emulator.

4. Suggestions for Future Work

4.1 General Structure

	- Multi-threading, to allow true concurrency between SCP and the simulator
	- Graphics device support, particularly for the PDP-1 and PDP-11

4.2 Current Simulators

	- PDP-1 graphics, to run Space War
	- PDP-11 GT40 graphics, to run Lunar Lander
	- PDP-15 MUMPS-15
	- Interdata native OS debug, both 16b and 32b
	- SDS 940 timesharing operating system debug
	- IBM 7094 CTSS feature debug and operating system debug
	- IBM 1620 debug and software
	- GRI-909 software
	- Sigma 32b completion and debug
	- LGP-30 debug

4.3 Possible Future Simulators

	- Data General MV8000 (if a hobbyist license can be obtained for AOS)
	- Alpha simulator
	- HP 3000 (16b) simulator with MPE

Diagnostic Notes
----------------
1. PATTERN paper tape (SA = 60, end pass = 1AC), SET CPU RBLKS=32.
Break at 60 is triggered once during loading process.
2. VERIFY paper tape (SA = 140, end pass = 8E6).
3. AUTO paper tape (SA = 105), SET CPU LASLMS to suppress spurious error message.
AUTO magtape runs correctly with no messages.
4. SUFFIX magtape (SA = 100, end pass = 115), no printouts.
5. FLOAT magtape.
6. DECIMAL paper tape (SA = EE).
7. PROTECT paper tape (SA = F9), long runtime until printout.
8. MAP paper tape (SA = 7C).
9. MEDIC paper tape (SA = 68), set SSW2 after breakpoint, long runtime.
10. INT magtape, stops after M6, set SSW2 and continue,
enters pattern generator and loops forever, as expected.
11. RTC paper tape, clocks must be 500Mhz, reports clocks as "too slow" due
to faster simulation speed.
Runs correctly with SET THROTTLE 500K.
