I've heard of it but never had the chance to play with it - not having a Windows box. I have been using simh (simh.trailing-edge.net) which does a good (free) PDP and VAX (& others) emulation on a collection of host OSs. What's missing is an emulated ethernet adaptor, I have started work on one but it's takin gmore time thatn I thought. I'll post to the list when I get it going though because it would mean you can run (eg) VMS emulated under linux ! patrick |
