The PDP11 and VAX have length switches - B, W, and (VAX) L - to
override the default parsing of numberic display or input as words
(PDP11) or longwords (VAX CPU) or bytes (VAX byte devices).
This worked fine if every value is filled in. On the PDP11:
sim> ideposit -b 0-3
0: 1
1: 2
2: 3
3: 4
sim>
But if the user skips an input, IDEPOSIT advances by 2, not 1:
sim> ideposit -b 0-3
0: 1
1: (cr)
3: 4
sim>
This change now produces the correct behavior.
PDP-11 simulator V3.12-2
sim> id -b 0-3
0: 1
1:
2: 3
3: 4
sim>
Setting a unit to write locked specifically allows only read access.
- If this is done while a unit is attached, it is up to device logic to
limit write activity until it is detached.
- If this is done while a unit is not attached, a subsequent attach
opens the container read only.
UNIT_BUFABLE without UNIT_MUSTBUF means that uptr->filebuf is managed
outside of attach_unit's authority. The buffer copy must always be allocated
if UNIT_BUFABLE is set so that there is space to store the initial loaded copy.
Fix#1122
This is a global command possibly for folks who have configurations which
always explicitly specify the drive type they want a particular unit to be
before they attach a container to the unit. The side effect of this will
be to avoid the addition of drive type describing meta data to disk
containers.
This adds support for the "framer" device, which is a USB-connected
device built around a Raspberry Pico that connects to a synchronous
line, either RS-232 or DEC "integral modem" coax connection. It
implements the framing portion of DDCMP: clock recovery for the
integral modem case, byte sync, and DDCMP frame handling including
CRC. The actual DDCMP protocol state machine, with its handling of
sequencing, timeout and retransmit, etc. is left to the host
software. All the design files for the framer may be found at
https://github.com/pkoning2/ddcmp .
This commit adds code to drive the framer from the TMXR library,
allowing it to be used either from simulated DMC-11 or simulated
DUP-11 devices. Both have been tested, using RSTS/E, RSX-11/M+, and
TOPS-20.
Fixed the one-digit limit on eth<n> device names, the limit is now 2.
The original solution provided in response to #957 needs to be adjusted
to reflect that errno is only guaranteed to be set by fwrite() if an error
occurred. otherwise a non zero value may have been set by some other
call elsewhere in the program. All other cases where errno is explicitly
check in simh, it is only done after receiving a return status from a
system call.
Fix problem reported in #1108
Some dependent packages on some platforms may also define HAVE_DLOPEN
and that definition may have different syntax or semantics. This change
avoids the potential symbol conflict.
As reported in #1098
- A prompt answer which exactly matches a topic name is given
preference over the potential ambiguity of other topics which start
with the same text.
- Prompt with the parent topic's prompt when a just displayed subtopic
has no subtopics.
- Allow either ^D or ^Z entered to act as EOF.
These changes reflect the behavior of the VMS help system which the
hierarchical help system is modeled on.
- Add column header to output of HELP device register list.
- Format HELP output for REGISTER, SET and SHOW commands to accommodate long
descriptor text (wrapping as needed).
- Add HELP DEVICE * to display help for all devices
Historically this functionality was reimplemented within each
DEVICE simulator often with slightly different implementations
and inconsistencies. Solving this globally within SCP required
changes in many places, but should henceforth be reasonably
managed.
