+We can run ! OS/32 on the SIMH ID32 emulator. First, we need to download the ! OS/32 kit.

+
+## Using ! OS/32
+
+:::tip
+
+If you have not already installed SIMH Interdata 7/32 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-id32/) on Linux and Windows.
+
+:::
+
+Extract the archive you downloaded. Inside you will find a file called several files. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the file named `os32.dsk` into it.
+
+Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `id32.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
+
+```ini
+set cpu 832
+set cpu idle
+set throttle 50%
+set ttp enabled
+set pas devno=20
+attach pas 1026
+set pt enabled
+set pt devno=13
+attach -e dm0 os32.dsk
+attach -n lpt printer.out
+set lpt lc
+deposit 7c 002
+boot dm0
+```
+
+![id32.ini](./os-32-simh-1.webp)
+
+Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
+
+```bash
+id32
+```
+
+![id32](./os-32-simh-2.webp)
+
+After the emulator starts, you will get a `*` prompt. Run `set time 05/16/22,19:00`. Set the date and time you want, but make sure the syntax remains the same. Try entering a date from 1970s or 80s to avoid any problem.
+
+Then run `mark dsc4:,on`, and at last `startup`. ! OS/32 will start. Run `dir` to see a list of files on the disk.
+
+![List of files in ! OS/32](./os-32-simh-3.webp)
+
+That's it! We used ! OS/32 on SIMH Interdata 7/32 emulator. You can now run `shutdown` to shut down OS/32. Then run `mark dsc4:,off`. Finally, hit `Ctrl` + `E` and run `exit` to stop the emulator. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
+
+### Linux
+
+Create a file called `os-32.sh` with the following content:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+id32
+```
+
+Now make the file executable:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x os-32.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/1975/os-32/#manuals) on the [main ! OS/32 page](/1970s/1975/os-32) to learn how to use it.
+
+### Windows
+
+Create a file called `os-32.bat` with the following content:
+
+```bash
+id32
+```
+
+Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1975/os-32/#manuals) on the [main ! OS/32 page](/1970s/1975/os-32) to learn how to use it.
