2022-01-14 Thread Dave via cctalk
Hi all, I see that SIMH incorporates the 32-bit Xerox Sigma architectures.  The Sigma 8/9/5x0 architectures are commented out but compile fine  Does anyone know if those later architectures have known issues? Has anyone succeeded in running CP-V on those emulations?  It would be amazing to run C

I ordered many of the parts from mouser.   I also just checked the cart and some parts are now on backorder with long lead times, but may be replaceable.   I may have skipped some parts if I had them in stock, so you would want to compare the cart against the BOM, and also I may have ordered mo

Here is what I have: https://www.vintagecomputer.net/simh/sds/sds_940_doc.pdf But it's for the Sigma 940 specifically, which is almost 10 years too old. I don't know if there are enough similarities between the two systems, maybe a useful peripheral config.The 940 was famous for time sharing in

Oh, US source, no. You have to buy straight from Stephan. But there is a guy on ebay who builds and sells them. But you'll pay a premium. I considered it, but I like to build things myself. The parts scavenger hunt? Not so much. -Original Message- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@cl

Where did you buy the board from? The eBay linked seller seems to only sell built testers, and the UK person linked from the author's site claims to only sell in the UK. Patrick Finnegan On Thu, Jan 13, 2022, 15:46 William Sudbrink via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > In response to my w

Straight from Stephan. Ask nicely and, if he has stock available, he will sell you one. Use the inquiry/contact form link on the web page: https://8bit-museum.de/sonstiges/hardware-projekte/hardware-projekte-chip-tester-english/ Bill S. From: Patrick Finnegan [mailto:p...@vax11.net]
