hp2100_ipl.c:
- Exposed "ipl_edtdelay" via a REG_HIDDEN register to allow user tuning
of the EDT delay that works around a race condition in the HP
2000/Access Time-Shared BASIC system.
- Corrected typos in comments and strings.
- Merged SIMH 3.x and 4.x socket calls via conditionals, so that the
module may be compiled for either version.
hp2100_mux.c:
- Corrected a typo in the RTS macro definition.
hp2100_sys.c:
- Added a cast to int for the parameter to "isspace" to avoid a compiler
warning.
hp2100_bugfixes.txt
- Added a description of the IPL hidden register fix.
Cleanup/Simplification by:
1) removing irrelevant master flag variable from sim_close_sock and thus sim_err_sock
2) change previous boolean feature arguments (datagram, nodelay, reuseaddr) to flag bits in a single option argument. This allows for features to be added by new flag bits which don't change the calling signatures.
3) changed all status returns to be int (vs t_stat) with success being 0 and error being -1
4) removed unneeded simh specific type references to allow sim_sock to be used by n
Extended API by providing flags to influence socket setup/behavior:
SIM_SOCK_OPT_REUSEADDR Retains prior behavior when sim_switches had -U set
SIM_SOCK_OPT_DATAGRAM UDP socket setup provided for when prior datagram argument was specified
SIM_SOCK_OPT_NODELAY TCP Nagle disable provided for when prior nodelay argument was specified
SIM_SOCK_OPT_BLOCKING Blocking socket mode (detault is non blocking)
265. PROBLEM: Compiling the HP simulator for 64-bit addressing produces many
conversion warnings.
OBSERVATION: Compiling the simulator and defining USE_INT64 and USE_ADDR64
with implicit conversion warnings enabled reveals a number of places where
assumptions were made that addresses would always be 32 bits. This is a
reasonable assumption, as there are no devices (CPU or peripherals) that
can handle gigabyte addressing. Still, many of these assumptions are not
necessary, and some future peripheral simulator may exceed this limit.
CAUSE: Future expansion to 64-bit addressing was not envisioned.
RESOLUTION: Modify source files to ensure that "t_addr" and "t_value"
types are used instead of "uint32" and "int32" types where addressing and
data values may be 64 bits. Also ensure that valid conversions to smaller
sizes use explicit casts.
266. PROBLEM: BOOT devices require a duplicate S-register declaration.
OBSERVATION: All of the peripheral devices that support the BOOT command
set the select code and other parameters into the S register during the
boot process. This direct register access requires an external declaration
that duplicates the one in the full CPU declarations file (hp2100_cpu.h).
A better method that avoids the duplicate declaration would be for the
"ibl_copy" routine to modify the S register on behalf of the caller.
CAUSE: Poor original implementation.
RESOLUTION: Modify "ibl_copy" (hp2100_cpu.c) to take two additional
parameters that clear and set bits, respectively, in the S register on
behalf of the caller. Modify the boot routines for the CPU, DA, DP, DQ,
DR, DS, IPL, MS, and PTR devices to use the new parameters instead of
modifying the S register directly.
OBSERVATION: The HP 2100 MS device simulates the HP 7970 B/E magnetic tape
drives. The 7970B uses NRZI format, and its associated controller supports
returning the cyclic redundancy check character and longitudinal redundancy
check character (CRCC and LRCC) to the CPU. Typically, these are used only
by the controller diagnostic, but support is easy to add.
RESOLUTION: Modify "hp2100_ms.c" to add a function that calculates CRCC
and LRCC for reads and writes, and call that function when the CPU requests
that the controller deliver the values.
Added support for per line tcp listen ports.
Added support for per line outgoing tcp/telnet connections.
Removed DEV_NET from pdp11_dz and pdp11_vh emulators to allow proper restore of
It also modifies the HP 2100 and PDP11 multiplexers to add serial support as demonstrations of the capability that, one day, might be extended to all simulators. I have tested the HP support, but I relied on Holger Veit to test the DEC stuff, so I can't guarantee that it works. I also relied on Holger to test under Linux, so the same caveat applies.
The changes needed in the device simulators are relatively small. For example, if you look at the patches for "hp2100_baci.c", you'll note that most of them are documentation changes. The only things of note are:
- an expansion of the TMXR initializer
- additional code in the "attach" routine to try attaching a serial port
if attaching a socket fails
- additional code in the "detach" routine for the same reasons
The HP MPX device (hp2100_mpx.c) needs a tiny bit of additional support from the ATTACH and DETACH commands. Specifically, SCP was modified to set a flag ("sim_unit_ref") to indicate whether ATTACH MPX or ATTACH MPX0 was done, i.e., to differentiate between a device and a unit attach (recall that SCP treats these as both referring to unit 0). This is needed because the socket attaches (logically) to the device, whereas a serial port attaches to a line. Without this flag, the attach routine cannot differentiate between ATTACH MPX and ATTACH MPX0, as the distinction is lost by the time the VM's attach routine is called. This support isn't needed for the HP MUX device because the socket attaches to a different device than the lines do.
MPX also requires a bit more work due to the capability to mix serial and Telnet lines on the same multiplexer (BACI is a single-line terminal device).
The attached PDF contains revisions to the "Writing a Simulator for the SIMH System" publication that documents the additions and changes to the multiplexer library for serial port support. User documentation for serial port support currently exists only in the initial comments in "sim_tmxr.c"; I will add the appropriate text to the "SIMH User's Guide" if we decide to add this to the release version.

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

commercial instructions and compatability mode have not been
extensively tested. The Ethernet controller is not working yet
