# How to install ! Unix v4 on Ersatz-11?
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Sadly, we do not have a complete copy of Unix v4, but we do have a copy of a kernel that is from between v3 and v4. We can use that kernel with v5 userland. It can be used on Ersatz-11 emulator.
|
||||
|
||||
## Downloads
|
||||
|
||||
First, we need to prepare an image of Unix v5 with the `nsys` kernel. We have prepared such an image for you to download:
|
||||
|
||||
- [! Unix-v4 image (v5 root with nsys kernel)](https://github.com/InstallerLegacy/nsys-image/releases/latest/download/nsysroot.zip)
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to prepare the image yourself, refer to [our guide on how to do so](/blog/how-to-put-the-nsys-kernel-on-a-disk-image-of-unix-v5/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Using ! Unix-v4
|
||||
|
||||
:::tip
|
||||
|
||||
If you have not already installed Ersatz-11 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/ersatz-11/) on Linux and Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
Extract the archive you downloaded. Inside you will find a file called `nsysroot`. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move that file into it.
|
||||
|
||||
Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `e11.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
set cpu 45
|
||||
mount dk0: nsysroot. /rk05
|
||||
boot dk0:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
e11
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
After the emulator starts, you will get a `@` prompt. Type `nsys` and press enter to run the `nsys` kernel. You will be asked to log in. Type `root` and press enter to log in. There is no password.
|
||||
|
||||
You can now run `ls` to see the list of files. To change directory, you need to use the `chdir` command, `cd` is not available.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
That's it! We used ! Unix-v4. To exit the emulator, press `Shift` + `Enter` and then type `exit` and press enter. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Create a file called `unix-v4.sh` with the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
e11
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now make the file executable:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x unix-v4.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/1973/unix-v4/#manuals) on the [main ! Unix-v4 page](/1970s/1973/unix-v4) to learn how to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Create a file called `unix-v4.bat` with the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
e11
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1973/unix-v4/#manuals) on the [main ! Unix-v4 page](/1970s/1973/unix-v4) to learn how to use it.

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 `unix_v5_rk.dsk` file into it.
|
||||
|
||||
Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `e11.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini

mount dk0: unix_v5_rk.dsk /rk05
|
||||
boot dk0:

||||
|
||||

|

|
||||
## Using ! RSTS-11 v4B
|
||||
|
||||
:::tip
|
||||
|
||||
If you have not already installed Ersatz-11 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/ersatz-11/) on Linux and Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM, and move the file named `RSTS11v4B.DSK` into it.
|
||||
|
||||
Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `e11.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
set cpu 05
|
||||
set memory 64
|
||||
mount dk0: RSTS11v4B.DSK /rk05
|
||||
boot dk0:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
e11
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
After the emulator starts, you will get a `OPTION?` prompt. Type `START` and press enter. Next, you will be asked for date. Provide the date in `DD-MMM-YY` format. For example, `05-JUN-74`. Try entering a date before the year 2000, to avoid problems related to [Y2K](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem).
|
||||
|
||||
After that, you will be asked for time. Enter the time in `HH:MM` format. For example, `19:23`. You will be asked if you want to enable crash dump. Type `Y` and press enter.
|
||||
|
||||
Now start PIP by executing `RUN PIP`. After PIP starts, you will get a `#` prompt. You can now type `/DI` followed by enter. It will list all the files available on the disk.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
That's it! We used ! RSTS-11 v4B. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Create a file called `rsts-11-v4b.sh` with the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
e11
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now make the file executable:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x rsts-11-v4b.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/rsts-11-v4b/#manuals) on the [main ! RSTS-11 v4B page](/1970s/1975/rsts-11-v4b) to learn how to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Create a file called `rsts-11-v4b.bat` with the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
e11
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1975/rsts-11-v4b/#manuals) on the [main ! RSTS-11 v4B page](/1970s/1975/rsts-11-v4b) to learn how to use it.

# How to install ! Data General AOS on Wild Hare Nova emulator?
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
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/):

|
||||
|
||||
## 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
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nova
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
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.

|
||||
boot dpc0
|
||||
go
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
hp2100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
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.
