Re: H-Series Photos

My original concept was to have the ability to run some basic VOS programs
on a UNIX box. This was to include the H-Series emulator (H100) with
VULCAN/VOS interception of BLU system service calls. Mostly $I/O calls.
Now my main goal is just to get the old Fortran 66 Star Trek game running
which I have the image (I hope). The H-Series emulator has been completed
for years. But little work has been done on the VULCAN/VOS system services.
A couple of years a ago I started working on a web servlet interface to
connected to the emulator with pipes. I hope to get started on the project
again this summer.

Most of my documents were damaged in a fire a couple of years ago. Of
course I cannot copy what I have and put them on the internet because of
copyright issues.

Here's some info about the emulator: It is written in pure C. I plan to
rewrite it someday in Java with some features removed.

/*
* H100 (Slash 6) engine
* Non turbo, non VM, and non SAU
*
* Web Version
*
* Features:
*
* 24 bit registers: I, J, K, E, A, and T
* - Interval timer (T register) inoperative
* - Q register inoperative (replaced by debug monitor)
* 48 bit register: D (E and A)
* 8 bit byte register: B (bits 7-0 of A)
* Bit Processor registers: V and H
* Full standard H100 instruction set including:
* - D register transfers and math operations.
* - Multiply and divide
* - Square root and extended square root (SRT and SRE)
* - Divide by two exclusive-or (DV2)
* - Floating point normalized (FNO)
* - Execute Memory (EXM)
* Full Bit Processor instruction set.
* Group 1 interrupts
* - All register and CPU instructions
* - Interrupt inactive for one instruction on certain instructions
* - Ability to bind native system interrupts to H100.
* - Interrupt control instructions
* I/O instructions and controllers
* - Hooks to native system I/O or controller emulation
* - Harris CRT controller emulation
* BLU intercepts
* - Defaults
* - Hooks to emulate OS (VOS, DMS) system service calls
* Debug Monitor
* - Replaces control panel
* - 24 bit switch register
* - 4 sense switches
* - Load and Display registers
* - Run and single step
* - Break and Trace points, replaces Q register
* *** Trace is throttled on web version ***
* - Load, Boot, and save Program
* - Disassembler - future

Here's a sample of using the emulator:

Tell me about the Computer History Museum.

Wow - These PDFs sure bring back some memories. One of these days I'm
going to setup a site honoring the H-Series/Datacraft computers. The
highlight will be the H100 emulator I wrote many years ago.

What software do you have for this?

I have some of the user's group material and not quite enough to get a
running
Vulcan system put together in simulation at the Computer History Museum. I
have
been trying to find diagnostics and bootstrap binaries.
