# How to install ! Data General AOS on Wild Hare Nova emulator?
![Wild Hare Nova emulator with ! Data General AOS](./dg-aos-wh-3.webp)
We can run [! Data General AOS](/1970s/1976/dg-aos) on the Wild Hare Nova emulator. First, we need to download the ! Data General AOS disk image.
## Downloads
You can download the disk image needed to run ! Data General AOS on the Wild Hare Nova emulator from the [Wild Hare Legacy Preservation Website website](http://www.novasareforever.org/):
- [! Data General AOS disk image](http://www.novasareforever.org/archive/public/wh/simh/disks/DZP.6067.AOS.raw)
## Using ! Data General AOS
:::tip
If you have not already installed Wild Hare Nova emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/wh-nova/) on Linux and Windows.
:::
Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the disk image you just downloaded into it. Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `nova.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
```ini
set CPU Eclipse_S/140
set PTR enable
set PTP enable
set PLT enable
set LPT enable
set DSK disable
set DEP disable
set DKP enable
set DZP enable
set TTI1 enable
set TTO1 enable
set ALM enable
set TTI bs swap
set TTO bs
dep TTO time 200
set TTI1 bs swap
set TTO1 bs
dep TTO1 time 200
set RTC MIPSsec=5
set DZP0 6067
attach DZP0 DZP.6067.AOS.raw
deposit DZP stime 1000
deposit DZP rtime 1000
attach TTI1 40000
attach ALM 40001
boot DZP0
```
![nova.ini](./dg-aos-wh-1.webp)
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
nova
```
![nova](./dg-aos-wh-2.webp)
When prompted `DISK UNIT NAME? `, type `DPF0` and press enter. When asked for device code and system pathname, just press enter without typing anything.
When asked for date, enter it in `MM/DD/YY` format. For example, enter `04/13/76`. Keep the year in 1970s or 80s, to avoid any issues. Similarly, when asked for time, enter it in `HH:MM:SS` format. For example, enter `12:55:31`. You will be asked if you want to override default specs. Just press enter to accept the defaults.
You will get a `)` prompt. Run the following commands:
```bash
CHAR/NAS/CPL=166
SEARCH :util : :MACROS :PER
SUPERUSER ON
```
The prompt will change to `*)`. Type `UP` and press enter to start ! Data General AOS. Press enter a few times till you get a `)` prompt.
Now you can run `SUPERUSER ON` and then `FILESTATUS` to list all the files available on the disk.
![List of files in ! Data General AOS](./dg-aos-wh-3.webp)
That's it! We used ! Data General AOS. To exit super user mode, type `BYE` and press enter. To shutdown the system, run `BYE` again. You will be asked twice if you really want to shutdown. Type `YES` and press enter both times to shutdown. Don't worry, it won't harm your children in any way.
We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
### Linux
Create a file called `DG-AOS.sh` with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
nova
```
Now make the file executable:
```bash
chmod +x DG-AOS.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/1976/dg-aos/#manuals) on the [main ! Data General AOS page](/1970s/1976/dg-aos/) to learn how to use it.
### Windows
Create a file called `DG-AOS.bat` with the following content:
```bash
nova
```
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1976/dg-aos/#manuals) on the [main ! Data General AOS page](/1970s/1976/dg-aos/) to learn how to use it.
