# How to install ! ADSS-15 on SIMH?

We can run [! ADSS-15](/1970s/1970/adss-15) on the SIMH PDP-15 emulator. First, we need to download the ! ADSS-15 kit.

You can download the kit needed to run ! ADSS-15 on the SIMH PDP-15 emulator from the ["SIMH Legacy"](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/) website:

## Using ! ADSS-15

If you have not already installed SIMH PDP-15 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp15/) on Linux and Windows.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
:::
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Extract the kit you downloaded. Inside you will find several files. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move those two files named `adss15_32k.dtp` and `dec-15u.rim` into it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `pdp15.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```ini
|
|||
|
|
load dec-15u.rim 77637
|
|||
|
|
ex pc
|
|||
|
|
attach dt adss15_32k.dtp
|
|||
|
|
set lpt disa
|
|||
|
|
set lp9 ena
|
|||
|
|
run
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```bash
|
|||
|
|
pdp15
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After the emulator starts, you can enter `D` to see the list of files:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That's it! We used ! ADSS-15. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM. Create a file called `adss-15.sh` with the following content:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```bash
|
|||
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|||
|
|
pdp15
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now make the file executable:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```bash
|
|||
|
|
chmod +x adss-15.sh
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now you can start the VM using the shell script. For example, on KDE you can right-click the file and choose `Run in Konsole` or on GNOME, where you can right-click the file and choose `Run as executable`. The VM will start.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
See the [manuals section](/1970s/1970/adss-15/#manuals) on the [main ! ADSS-15 page](/1970s/1970/adss-15) to learn how to use it.

### Windows

You should use Linux. If you don’t know how to install a Linux distro, see [our tutorials on how to install Kubuntu](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/tag/os/), a beginner-friendly distro.
|
|||
|
|

|
On Windows, you need to place the `PDP15.exe` file you downloaded in [this tutorial](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp15#windows) in the VM folder. Then you can follow the above tutorial as usual. The shell script will not work on Windows. You need to rename it to `adss-15.bat`. Then you can double-click the file to launch the VM, no need to make it executable.
