This might not be state-of-the-art (but thats not the point anyway), I'm running p11 version 2.5 on an FreeBSD 3.4 machine and it works ok, the main problem I have found is that after a while the clock starts to run slow, at the momement it thinks it's christmas eve (after beeing up about 130 days). /Per Andersson Received: (from major at localhost) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) id JAA54943 for pups-liszt; Sun, 4 Feb 2001 09:25:12 +1100 (EST) (envelope-from owner-pups at minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au) Received: from mailhost.cs.uofs.edu (mailhost.cs.uofs.edu [134.198.169.1]) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA54939 for ; Sun, 4 Feb 2001 09:25:05 +1100 (EST) (envelope-from bill at cs.uofs.edu) Received: from triangle.cs.uofs.edu (IDENT:root at triangle.cs.uofs.edu [134.198.172.101]) by mailhost.cs.uofs.edu (8.9.3/8.9.2) with ESMTP id RAA54493 for ; Sat, 3 Feb 2001 17:24:01 -0500 (EST) Received: from localhost (bill at localhost) by triangle.cs.uofs.edu (8.9.3/8.8.6) with ESMTP id RAA06862 for ; Sat, 3 Feb 2001 17:23:10 -0500 X-Authentication-Warning: triangle.cs.uofs.edu: bill owned process doing -bs Date: Sat, 3 Feb 2001 17:23:08 -0500 (EST) From: Bill Gunshannon To: pups at minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au Subject: Re: [pups] 2.11BSD networking on simulator In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-pups at minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au Precedence: bulk On Sat, 3 Feb 2001, Per Andersson wrote: > > This might not be state-of-the-art (but thats not the point anyway), I'm > running p11 version 2.5 on an FreeBSD 3.4 machine and it works ok, the main Where can I find this Begemot P11 Emulator??

The bug is an arithmetic overflow in the clock computations. After about 24 days (with 60Hz power in the US) the number of ticks the virtual machine has been up overflows 32 bits and time behaves very strange. Apply the patch below to 'device.c' and the problem goes away - it did for me.

Load the pack from the RK05 image after the 100 (IIRC) block tape to disk loader program [how you get it there is another issue, of course... 8-)], boot up, type rkunix at the "@" and away you go. I did not use the tape to disk program on the tape image, however -- I didn't have a tape drive at the time IIRC. I have a standalone program that used a parallel port on my PC and a DR11 on my PDP-11 to write it, IIRC, but I might have used XMODEM and a serial port -- its been a lonnnng time since I did it.

(Anyone else who has a working combination, feel free to jump in!) Gosh, it was quite a while ago that I tried P11 on a FreeBSD system. It was pre-4.0 as I remember - perhaps 3.5 or 3.6 > Thanks very much for the config file, that should make life a lot > easier... And Quite welcome! Getting rid of the M4 macros and distilling the config file down to the basics makes it much easier to see what is going on. Coming up with that first config file was a day or so of fun ;) > thanks for all your efforts in updating 2.11BSD - very impressive to get > a full fledged BSD system on a PDP-11! You're welcome - it's been a lot of fun over the years. The past couple years development has slowed down, combination of too many other projects and not a lot of room left to stuff new features in ;) Steven Schultz sms at moe.2bsd.com
