ALL: Massive 'const' cleanup
These changes facilitate more robust parameter type checking and helps to identify unexpected coding errors. Most simulators can now also be compiled with a C++ compiler without warnings. Additionally, these changes have also been configured to facilitate easier backporting of simulator and device simulation modules to run under the simh v3.9+ SCP framework. |

Notes For V3.5-1
The source set has been extensively overhauled. For correct viewing, set Visual C++ or Emacs to have tab stops every 4 characters. 1. New Features 1.1 3.5-0 1.1.1 All Ethernet devices - Added Windows user-defined adapter names (from Timothe Litt) 1.1.2 Interdata, SDS, HP, PDP-8, PDP-18b terminal multiplexors - Added support for SET <unit>n DISCONNECT 1.1.3 VAX - Added latent QDSS support - Revised autoconfigure to handle QDSS 1.1.4 PDP-11 - Revised autoconfigure to handle more cases 1.2 3.5-1 No new features 1.3 3.5-2 1.3.1 All ASCII terminals - Most ASCII terminal emulators have supported 7-bit and 8-bit operation; where required, they have also supported an upper- case only or KSR-emulation mode. This release adds a new mode, 7P, for 7-bit printing characters. In 7P mode, non-printing characters in the range 0-31 (decimal), and 127 (decimal), are automatically suppressed. This prevents printing of fill characters under Windows. The printable character set for ASCII code values 0-31 can be changed with the SET CONSOLE PCHAR command. Code value 127 (DELETE) is always suppressed. 1.3.2 VAX-11/780 - First release. The VAX-11/780 has successfully run VMS V7.2. The commercial instructions and compatability mode have not been extensively tested. The Ethernet controller is not working yet and is disabled. 2.

5. General Notes
WARNING: The build procedures have changed. There is only one UNIX
makefile. To compile without Ethernet support, simply type
gmake {target|all}
To compile with Ethernet support, type
gmake USE_NETWORK=1 {target|all}
The Mingw batch files require Mingw release 2 and invoke the Unix
makefile. There are still separate batch files for compilation
with or without Ethernet support.
WARNING: V2.10 has reorganized and renamed some of the definition
files for the PDP-10, PDP-11, and VAX. Be sure to delete all
previous source files before you unpack the Zip archive, or
unpack it into a new directory structure.
WARNING: V2.10 has a new, more comprehensive save file format.
Restoring save files from previous releases will cause 'invalid
register' errors and loss of CPU option flags, device enable/
disable flags, unit online/offline flags, and unit writelock
flags.
WARNING: If you are using Visual Studio .NET through the IDE,
be sure to turn off the /Wp64 flag in the project settings, or
dozens of spurious errors will be generated.
WARNING: Compiling Ethernet support under Windows requires
extra steps; see the Ethernet readme file. Ethernet support is
currently available only for Windows, Linux, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.

- The line printer and DECtape can be disabled and enabled.
3.6 PDP-8
- The RX28 (double density floppy) has been added as an option to
the existing RX8E controller.
- SHOW <device> DEVNO displays the device's device number. Most
devices allow the device number to be changed with SET <device>
DEVNO=nnn.
- Device number conflicts are not detected until simulation starts.
3.7 IBM 1620
- The IBM 1620 simulator has been released.
3.8 AltairZ80
- A hard drive has been added for increased storage.
- Several bugs have been fixed.
3.9 HP 2100
- The 12845A has been added and made the default line printer (LPT).
The 12653A has been renamed LPS and is off by default. It also
supports the diagnostic functions needed to run the DCPC and DMS
diagnostics.
- The 12557A/13210A disk defaults to the 13210A (7900/7901).
- The 12559A magtape is off by default.
- New CPU options (EAU/NOEAU) enable/disable the extended arithmetic
instructions for the 2116. These instructions are standard on
the 2100 and 21MX.
- New CPU options (MPR/NOMPR) enable/disable memory protect for the
2100 and 21MX.
- New CPU options (DMS/NODMS) enable/disable the dynamic mapping
instructions for the 21MX.
- The 12539 timebase generator autocalibrates.
3.10 Simulated Magtapes
- Simulated magtapes recognize end of file and the marker
0xFFFFFFFF as end of medium. Only the TMSCP tape simulator
can generate an end of medium marker.
- The error handling in simulated magtapes was overhauled to be
consistent through all simulators.
3.11 Simulated DECtapes
- Added support for RT11 image file format (256 x 16b) to DECtapes.
4. Bugs Fixed in 2.10 vs prior releases
- TS11/TSV05 was not simulating the XS0_MOT bit, causing failures
under VMS. In addition, two of the CTL options were coded
interchanged.
- IBM 1401 tape was not setting a word mark under group mark for
load mode reads. This caused the diagnostics to crash.
- SCP bugs in ssh_break and set_logon were fixed (found by Dave
Hittner).
- Numerous bugs in the HP 2100 extended arithmetic, floating point,
21MX, DMS, and IOP instructions were fixed. Bugs were also fixed
in the memory protect and DMS functions. The moving head disks
(DP, DQ) were revised to simulate the hardware more accurately.
Missing functions in DQ (address skip, read address) were added.
- PDP-10 tape wouldn't boot, and then wouldn't read (reported by
Michael Thompson and Harris Newman, respectively)
- PDP-1 typewriter is half duplex, with only one shift state for
both input and output (found by Derek Peschel)
5. General Notes
WARNING: V2.10 has reorganized and renamed some of the definition
files for the PDP-10, PDP-11, and VAX. Be sure to delete all
previous source files before you unpack the Zip archive, or
unpack it into a new directory structure.
WARNING: V2.10 has a new, more comprehensive save file format.
Restoring save files from previous releases will cause 'invalid
register' errors and loss of CPU option flags, device enable/
disable flags, unit online/offline flags, and unit writelock
flags.
WARNING: If you are using Visual Studio .NET through the IDE,
be sure to turn off the /Wp64 flag in the project settings, or
dozens of spurious errors will be generated.
WARNING: Compiling Ethernet support under Windows requires
extra steps; see the Ethernet readme file. Ethernet support is
currently available only for Windows, Linux, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.

WARNING: Compiling Ethernet support under Windows requires extra steps; see the Ethernet readme file. Ethernet support is currently available only for Windows, Linux, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. 1. New Features 1.1 SCP and Libraries - The VT emulation package has been replaced by the capability to remote the console to a Telnet session. Telnet clients typically have more complete and robust VT100 emulation. - Simulated devices may now have statically allocated buffers, in addition to dynamically allocated buffers or disk-based data stores. - The DO command now takes substitutable arguments (max 9). In command files, %n represents substitutable argument n. - The initial command line is now interpreted as the command name and substitutable arguments for a DO command. This is backward compatible to prior versions. - The initial command line parses switches. -Q is interpreted as quiet mode; informational messages are suppressed. - The HELP command now takes an optional argument. HELP <cmd> types help on the specified command. - Hooks have been added for implementing GUI-based consoles, as well as simulator-specific command extensions. A few internal data structures and definitions have changed. - Two new routines (tmxr_open_master, tmxr_close_master) have been added to sim_tmxr.c. The calling sequence for sim_accept_conn has been changed in sim_sock.c. - The calling sequence for the VM boot routine has been modified to add an additional parameter. - SAVE now saves, and GET now restores, controller and unit flags. - Library sim_ether.c has been added for Ethernet support. 1.2 VAX - Non-volatile RAM (NVR) can behave either like a memory or like a disk-based peripheral. If unattached, it behaves like memory and is saved and restored by SAVE and RESTORE, respectively. If attached, its contents are loaded from disk by ATTACH and written back to disk at DETACH and EXIT. - SHOW <device> VECTOR displays the device's interrupt vector. A few devices allow the vector to be changed with SET <device> VECTOR=nnn. - SHOW CPU IOSPACE displays the I/O space address map. - The TK50 (TMSCP tape) has been added. - The DEQNA/DELQA (Qbus Ethernet controllers) have been added. - Autoconfiguration support has been added. - The paper tape reader has been removed from vax_stddev.c and now references a common implementation file, dec_pt.h. - Examine and deposit switches now work on all devices, not just the CPU. - Device address conflicts are not detected until simulation starts. 1.3 PDP-11 - SHOW <device> VECTOR displays the device's interrupt vector. Most devices allow the vector to be changed with SET <device> VECTOR=nnn. - SHOW CPU IOSPACE displays the I/O space address map. - The TK50 (TMSCP tape), RK611/RK06/RK07 (cartridge disk), RX211 (double density floppy), and KW11P programmable clock have been added. - The DEQNA/DELQA (Qbus Ethernet controllers) have been added. - Autoconfiguration support has been added. - The paper tape reader has been removed from pdp11_stddev.c and now references a common implementation file, dec_pt.h. - Device bootstraps now use the actual CSR specified by the SET ADDRESS command, rather than just the default CSR. Note that PDP-11 operating systems may NOT support booting with non-standard addresses. - Specifying more than 256KB of memory, or changing the bus configuration, causes all peripherals that are not compatible with the current bus configuration to be disabled. - Device address conflicts are not detected until simulation starts. 1.4 PDP-10 - SHOW <device> VECTOR displays the device's interrupt vector. A few devices allow the vector to be changed with SET <device> VECTOR=nnn. - SHOW CPU IOSPACE displays the I/O space address map. - The RX211 (double density floppy) has been added; it is off by default. - The paper tape now references a common implementation file, dec_pt.h. - Device address conflicts are not detected until simulation starts. 1.5 PDP-1 - DECtape (then known as MicroTape) support has been added. - The line printer and DECtape can be disabled and enabled. 1.6 PDP-8 - The RX28 (double density floppy) has been added as an option to the existing RX8E controller. - SHOW <device> DEVNO displays the device's device number.

Notes For V2.9-11
1. New Features 1.1 GRI-909 - This is a new simulator for the GRI-909. - It has been hand-tested; so far, no software has been discovered. 1.2 VAX - SET CPU CONHALT will cause a HALT instruction to return to the boot ROM console rather than to SIMH. SET CPU SIMHALT restores the default behavior. - BRB/W self at IPL 1F stops the simulator. This is the default behavior of VMS at exit. 1.3 PDP-18b - ATTACH -A PTR/PTP attaches the reader and punch in ASCII mode. In ASCII mode, the reader automatically sets the high order bit of incoming alphabetic data, and the punch clears the high order bit of outgoing data. 1.4 SCP - DO -V echoes commands from the file as they are executed. - Under Windows, execution priority is set BELOW_NORMAL when the simulator is running. 2. Release Notes 2.1 Bugs Fixed - PDP-11 CPU: fixed updating of MMR0 on a memory management error. - VAX FPA: changed function names to avoid conflict with C math library. - 1401 MT: read end of record generates group mark without word mark. - 1401 DP: fixed address generation and checking. - SCP: an EXIT within a DO command will cause the simulator to exit. 3. In Progress - Interdata 16b/32b: coded, not tested. - SDS 940: coded, not tested. - IBM 1620: coded, not tested. If you would like to help with the debugging of the untested simulators, they can be made available by special request. |

Notes For V2.8
1. New Features
1.1 Directory and documentation
- Only common files (SCP and libraries) are in the top level
directory. Individual simulator files are in their individual
directories.
- simh_doc.txt has been split up. simh_doc.txt now documents
only SCP. The individual simulators are documented in separate
text files in their own directories.
- mingw_build.bat is a batch file for the MINGW/gcc environment
that will build all the simulators, assuming the root directory
structure is at c:\sim.
- Makefile is a UNIX make file for the gcc environment that will
build all the simulators, assuming the root directory is at
c:\sim.
1.2 SCP
- DO <file name> executes the SCP commands in the specified file.
- Replicated registers in unit structures can now be declared as
arrays for examine, modify, save, and restore. Most replicated
unit registers (for example, mag tape position registers) have
been changed to arrays.
- The ADD/REMOVE commands have been replaced by SET unit ONLINE
and SET unit OFFLINE, respectively.
- Register names that are unique within an entire simulator do
not have to be prefaced with the device name.
- The ATTACH command can attach files read only, either under
user option (-r), or because the attached file is ready only.
- The SET/SHOW capabilities have been extended. New forms include:
SET <dev> param{=value}{ param ...}
SET <unit> param{=value}{ param ...}
SHOW <dev> {param param ...}
SHOW <unit> {param param ...}
- Multiple breakpoints have been implemented. Breakpoints are
set/cleared/displayed by:
BREAK addr_list{[count]}
NOBREAK addr_list
SHOW BREAK addr_list
1.3 PDP-11 simulator
- Unibus map implemented, with 22b RP controller (URH70) or 18b
RP controller (URH11) (in debug).
- All DMA peripherals rewritten to use map.
- Many peripherals modified for source sharing with VAX.
- RQDX3 implemented.
- Bugs fixed in RK11 and RL11 write check.
1.4 PDP-10 simulator
- ITS 1-proceed implemented.
- Bugs fixed in ITS PC sampling and LPMR
1.5 18b PDP simulator
- Interrupts split out to multiple levels to allow easier
expansion.
1.5 IBM System 3 Simulator
- Written by Charles (Dutch) Owen.
1.6 VAX Simulator (in debug)
- Simulates MicroVAX 3800 (KA655) with 16MB-64MB memory, RQDX3,
RLV12, TSV11, DZV11, LPV11, PCV11.
- CDROM capability has been added to the RQDX3, to allow testing
with VMS hobbyist images.
1.7 SDS 940 Simulator (not tested)
- Simulates SDS 940, 16K-64K memory, fixed and moving head
disk, magtape, line printer, console.
1.8 Altair Z80
- Revised from Charles (Dutch) Owen's original by Peter Schorn.
- MITS 8080 with full Z80 simulation.
- 4K and 8K BASIC packages, Prolog package.
1.9 Interdata
The I4 simulator has been withdrawn for major rework. Look for
a complete 16b/32b Interdata simulator sometime next year.
2. Release Notes
2.1 SCP
SCP now allows replicated registers in unit structures to be
modelled as arrays. All replicated register declarations have
been replaced by register array declarations. As a result,
save files from prior revisions will generate errors after
restoring main memory.
2.2 PDP-11
The Unibus map code is in debug. The map was implemented primarily
to allow source sharing with the VAX, which requires a DMA map.
DMA devices work correctly with the Unibus map disabled.
The RQDX3 simulator has run a complete RSTS/E SYSGEN, with multiple
drives, and booted the completed system from scratch.
2.3 VAX
The VAX simulator will run the boot code up to the >>> prompt. It
can successfully process a SHOW DEVICE command. It runs the HCORE
instruction diagnostic. It can boot the hobbyist CD through SYSBOOT
and through the date/time dialog and restore the hobbyist CD, using
standalone backup. On the boot of the restored disk, it gets to the
date/time dialog, and then crashes.
2.4 SDS 940
The SDS 940 is untested, awaiting real code.
2.5 GCC Optimization
At -O2 and above, GCC does not correctly compile the simulators which
use setjmp-longjmp (PDP-11, PDP-10, VAX). A working hypothesis is
that optimized state maintained in registers is being used in the
setjmp processing routine. On the PDP-11 and PDP-10, all of this
state has been either made global, or volatile, to encourage GCC to
keep the state up to date in memory. The VAX is still vulnerable.
3. Work list
3.1 SCP
- Better ENABLE/DISABLE.
3.2 PDP-11 RQDX3
Software mapped mode, RCT read simulation, VMS debug.
