Inside you will find a file called `zrdos75.dsk`. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM, and move the file named `zrdos75.dsk` into it. + +Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `eclipse.ini` with the following content in the VM folder: + +```ini +att dkp0 zrdos75.dsk +set tti dasher +boot dkp0 +``` + +![eclipse.ini](./nova-rdos-simh-eclipse-1.webp) + +Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator: + +```bash +eclipse +``` + +![eclipse](./nova-rdos-simh-eclipse-2.webp) + +After the emulator starts, press enter when asked for filename. When asked for date, enter it in `MM/DD/YY` format. For example, enter `04/13/74`. 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`. + +Now you can enter `LIST` to see a list of files available: + +![List of files in ! Nova RDOS](./nova-rdos-simh-eclipse-3.webp) + +That's it! We used !
