- windows-build now supports the latest Visual Studio 2022 17.14.3
Fix: #1216#1216 reports problem with 17.14.2, but MS had already released 17.14.3
as of 5/28/2025, so that version is what is now supported.
This whole array VS2022 problems comes from the fact that Release
builds of certain static libraries are rejected at link time as
incompatible with those libraries produced by any prior Visual Studio
version. This problem has existed for a very long time (going back to
at least VS2017). The earlier strategy implemented with simh builds
was to not support the latest Visual Studio tool set until it stopped
changing. That was sort of OK when Visual Studio versions changed
every 2 years, but since VS2022 was dragging on with frequent changes
support for intermediate versions was added some 3 years back.

Adds the following devices to AltairZ80:
TUART0: Cromemco FDC controller TUART console port at I/O address 0x00.
TUART1: Cromemco TU-ART port A at I/O address 0x20.
TUART2: Cromemco TU-ART port B at I/I address 0x50.
These devices are fully TMXR capable.
Fix divide of 0 on KS10 processor.
Fix write access for auxiliary processor memory.
Updated support new PIDP10 panel.
Allow eight Unibux ports on the TEN device.
Added GE DATANET-760 device to PDP6
Removed USER mode restriction for idle detection.
Added Data Disc 6600 Television Display System.
Josh's Altair/IMSAI Replacement (JAIR) is a single board computer
(SBC) for the S100 bus. I created this device to assist a friend
with getting IMP and CBBS working on his JAIR. Without having a
JAIR myself, AltairZ80 to the rescue!
The following devices are added:
JAIR - The main JAIR board I/O and ROM
JAIRS0 - Serial Port 0 (COM1)
JAIRS1 - Serial Port 1 (COM2)
JAIRP - Parallel Port
This was a bit challenging because the JAIR uses an on-board SD
card with FAT file system to hold its BIOS and CP/M disk images.
The ATTACH command is used to mount SD card images to the
simulator. The simulator emulates the SD card interface for
read/writing SD card sectors. These images are easily mounted on
a Mac making moving files around easy. I do not know about Windows.
These same images can be written to an SD card and used with real
JAIR hardware, which may be useful for JAIR owners.
The serial and parallel ports fully support TMXR. Host serial ports
and sockets may be attached to these devices.
I am working on a GitHub repository containing an SD card image and
init script that will boot CP/M 2.2 on the JAIR simulator.
Is this device one that should be added to AltairZ80?
Note: To avoid potential breakage of existing PDP11 configurations in
the wild, which may expect RP on RHA, TU on RHB and RS on RHC,
RPB is connected to RHD Massbus adapter.
- More robust recovery when Massbus configuration errors occur
- More complete RH{A,B,C,D} help
Removed TQ (TMSCP), TS (TSV11) and VH (DHV11) devices from this
simulator since these devices were never supported in release MicroVAX I
configurations.
Lacking a scatter/gather map, DMA devices needed to be written to
perform DMA into contigous buffers in low memory and then copy data
to user space buffers. The MSCP protocol devices had specific support to
do scatter/gather transfers as part of the protocol. The RL01/RL02 device
driver was modified to perform the appropriate buffer moves most likely
to prove the customer option to adjust their drivers actually worked. In
any case, boot support for RL01/RL02 disks does not exist.
This PR adds support for the Processor Technology VDM-1 display adapter and Sol-20 computer system. The VDM-1 was integrated into the Sol-20 but has been separated out into its own device.
This PR adds the following devices to the AltairZ80 simulator:
VDM1 - Processor Technology VDM-1 display adapter
SOL20 - Processor Technology SOL20 with SOLOS ROMs
SOL20K - SOL20 Keyboard (callback from VDM1)
SOL20T - SOL20 Tape (reads/writes cassette file images)
SOL20S - SOL20 Serial Port (TMXR capable)
SOL20P - SOL20 Printer Port (TMXR capable)
