+![SIMH HP 2100 emulator with ! HP 2100 RTE-II](./RTE-III-2.webp)
+
+We can run [! HP 2100 RTE-III](/1970s/1976/rte-iii) on the SIMH HP 2100 emulator. First, we need to download the ! HP 2100 RTE-III disk image.
+
+## Downloads
+
+You can download the disk image needed to run ! HP 2100 RTE-III on the SIMH HP 2100 emulator from our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/InstallerLegacy/HP2100):
+
+:::tip
+
+The disk image comes from [a zip file](https://github.com/rsanchovilla/SimH_cpanel/blob/master/test_run/HP2100/HP2100.zip) in GitHub user ["rsanchovilla"](https://github.com/rsanchovilla)'s [SimH_cpanel](https://github.com/rsanchovilla/SimH_cpanel) repository. You can extract the disk image from that zip file yourself, if you want.

+
+## Using ! HP 2100 RTE-III
+
+:::tip
+
+If you have not already installed SIMH HP 2100 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-hp2100/) 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 `hp2100.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
+
+```ini
+set cpu 1000-M
+set cpu 1024K
+set dpc 13210A
+set ds0 7925
+set ds1 7906
+set ptr sc=10
+set clk sc=11
+set ds  sc=12
+set msc sc=13
+set mpx sc=15
+set tty sc=16
+set ptp sc=17
+set lpt sc=20
+set lps sc=21
+set dpc sc=22
+att dpc0 -q RTE-III.disc
+set lps enabled
+set dqc disabled
+set drc disabled
+set mux disabled
+set mtc disabled
+set tty noautolf
+set console del=177
+d s 0
+boot dpc0
+go
+```
+
+![hp2100.ini](./RTE-III-1.webp)
+
+Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
+
+```bash
+hp2100
+```
+
+![hp2100](./RTE-III-2.webp)
+
+That's it! We used ! HP 2100 RTE-III. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
+
+### Linux
+
+Create a file called `RTE-III.sh` with the following content:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+hp2100
+```
+
+Now make the file executable:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x RTE-III.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/rte-iii/#manuals) on the [main ! HP 2100 RTE-III page](/1970s/1976/rte-iii/) to learn how to use it.
+
+### Windows
+
+Create a file called `RTE-III.bat` with the following content:
+
+```bash
+hp2100
+```
+
+Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1976/rte-iii/#manuals) on the [main ! HP 2100 RTE-III page](/1970s/1976/rte-iii/) to learn how to use it.
