Bob Supnik 701f0fe028 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- The ADD/REMOVE commands have been replaced by SET unit ONLINE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.

1. Simulator Files
The H316 requires the following files:
sim/ sim_defs.h
scp.c
scp_tty.c
sim_rev.c
sim/h316/ h316_defs.h
h316_cpu.c
h316_lp.c
h316_stddev.c
h316_cpu.c
2. H316/H516 Features
The Honeywell 316/516 simulator is configured as follows:
device simulates
name(s)
CPU H316/H516 CPU with 16/32KW memory
PTR 316/516-50 paper tape reader
PTP 316/516-52 paper tape punch
TTY 316/516-33 console terminal
CLK 316/516-12 real time clock
LPT 316/516 line printer
The H316/H516 simulator implements several unique stop conditions:
- decode of an undefined instruction, and STOP_INST is et
- reference to an undefined I/O device, and STOP_DEV is set
- more than INDMAX indirect references are detected during
memory reference address decoding
The H316/H516 loader is not implemented.
2.1 CPU
CPU options include choice of instruction set and memory size.
SET CPU HSA high speed arithmetic instructions
SET CPU NOHSA no high speed arithmetic instructions
SET CPU 4K set memory size = 4K
SET CPU 8K set memory size = 8K
SET CPU 12K set memory size = 12K
SET CPU 16K set memory size = 16K
SET CPU 24K set memory size = 24K
SET CPU 32K set memory size = 32K
If memory size is being reduced, and the memory being truncated contains
non-zero data, the simulator asks for confirmation. Data in the truncated
portion of memory is lost. Initial memory size is 32K.
CPU registers include the visible state of the processor as well as the
control registers for the interrupt system.

2.2 Programmed I/O Devices
2.2.1 316/516-50 Paper Tape Reader (PTR)
The paper tape reader (PTR) reads data from a disk file. The POS
register specifies the number of the next data item to be read.
Thus, by changing POS, the user can backspace or advance the reader.
The paper tape reader supports the BOOT command. BOOT PTR copies the
absolute binary loader into memory and starts it running.
The paper tape reader implements these registers:
name size comments
BUF 8 last data item processed
INTREQ 1 device interrupt request
READY 1 device ready
ENABLE 1 device interrupts enabled
POS 31 position in the input or output file
TIME 24 time from I/O initiation to interrupt
STOP_IOE 1 stop on I/O error
Error handling is as follows:
error STOP_IOE processed as
not attached 1 report error and stop
0 out of tape
end of file 1 report error and stop
0 out of tape or paper
OS I/O error x report error and stop
2.2.2 316/516-52 Paper Tape Punch (PTP)
The paper tape punch (PTP) writes data to a disk file. The POS
register specifies the number of the next data item to be written.
Thus, by changing POS, the user can backspace or advance the punch.
The paper tape punch implements these registers:
name size comments
BUF 8 last data item processed
INTREQ 1 device interrupt request
READY 1 device ready
ENABLE 1 device interrupts enabled
POWER 1 device powered up
POS 31 position in the input or output file
TIME 24 time from I/O initiation to interrupt
PWRTIME 24 time from I/O request to power up
STOP_IOE 1 stop on I/O error
Error handling is as follows:
error STOP_IOE processed as
not attached 1 report error and stop
0 out of tape
OS I/O error x report error and stop
2.2.3 316/516-33 Console Teletype (TTY)
The terminal reads from the console keyboard and writes to the
simulator console window. The terminal has one option, UC; when
set, the terminal automatically converts lower case input to upper
case. This is on by default.
The terminal these registers:
name size comments
BUF 8 last data item processed
MODE 1 read/write mode
INTREQ 1 device interrupt request
READY 1 device ready
ENABLE 1 device interrupts enabled
KPOS 31 number of characters input
KTIME 24 keyboard polling interval

TTIME 24 time from I/O initiation to interrupt
2.2.4 316/516-12 Real Time Clock (CLK)
The real time clock (CLK) implements these registers:
name size comments
INTREQ 1 device interrupt request
READY 1 device ready
ENABLE 1 device interrupts enabled
TIME 24 clock interval
2.2.5 316/5116 Line Printer (LPT)
The line printer (LPT) writes data to a disk file. The POS register
specifies the number of the next data item to be written. Thus,
by changing POS, the user can backspace or advance the printer.
The line printer implements these registers:
name size comments
WDPOS 6 word position in current scan
DRPOS 6 drum position
CRPOS 1 carriage position
XFER 1 transfer ready flag

XTIME 24 delay between transfers
ETIME 24 delay at end of scan
PTIME 24 delay for shuttle/line advance
STOP_IOE 1 stop on I/O error
Error handling is as follows:
error STOP_IOE processed as
not attached 1 report error and stop
0 out of paper
OS I/O error x report error and stop
2.3 Symbolic Display and Input
The H316/H516 simulator implements symbolic display and input. Display is
controlled by command line switches:
-a display as ASCII character
-c display as two character string
-m display instruction mnemonics
Input parsing is controlled by the first character typed in or by command
line switches:
' or -a ASCII character
" or -c two character sixbit string
alphabetic instruction mnemonic
numeric octal number
Instruction input uses standard H316/H516 assembler syntax. There are six
instruction classes: memory reference, I/O, control, shift, skip, and
operate.
Memory reference instructions have the format
memref{*} {C/Z} address{,1}
where * signifies indirect, C a current sector reference, Z a sector zero
reference, and 1 indexed. The address is an octal number in the range 0 -
077777; if C or Z is specified, the address is a page offset in the range
0 - 0777. Normally, C is not needed; the simulator figures out from the
address what mode to use. However, when referencing memory outside the CPU
(eg, disks), there is no valid PC, and C must be used to specify current
sector addressing.
I/O instructions have the format
io pulse+device
The pulse+device is an octal number in the range 0 - 01777.
Control and operate instructions consist of a single opcode
opcode
Shift instructions have the format
shift n
where n is an octal number in the range 0-77.
Skip instructions have the format
sub-op sub-op sub-op...
The simulator checks that the combination of sub-opcodes is legal.
