We can run [! HP 2100 DOS-M](/1970s/1970/hp2100dos-m) on the SIMH HP 2100 emulator. First, we need to download the ! HP 2100 DOS-M kit.
## Downloads
You can download the kit needed to run ! HP 2100 DOS-M on the SIMH HP 2100 emulator from the ["SIMH Legacy" website](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/):
- [! HP 2100 DOS-M kit](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/kits/DOS-M.zip)
## Using ! HP 2100 DOS-M
:::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.
:::
Extract the kit you downloaded. Inside you will find several files. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the file named `DOS-M.disc` into it. Open the `dsgen` folder inside the extracted folder and move the file called `conf_bootstrap.abs` to the VM folder.
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 2116
set cpu 32k
SET CPU EAU
set tty sc=11
set clk sc=12
set ptr sc=13
set tbg sc=17
set ptp sc=20
set tty autolf
set console del=177
set dpc 12557A

go
```

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

```
![hp2100](./HP-2100-DOS-M-2.webp)
After the emulator starts, type `:LIST,X,1` and press enter. It will list all the files available on the disk.
![List of files in ! HP 2100 DOS-M](./HP-2100-DOS-M-3.webp)
That's it! We used ! HP 2100 DOS-M. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
### Linux
Create a file called `HP-2100-DOS-M.sh` with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
hp2100
```
Now make the file executable:
```bash
chmod +x HP-2100-DOS-M.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/1970/hp2100dos-m/#manuals) on the [main ! HP 2100 DOS-M page](/1970s/1970/hp2100dos-m/) to learn how to use it.
### Windows
Create a file called `HP-2100-DOS-M.bat` with the following content:
```bash

```
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1970/hp2100dos-m/#manuals) on the [main ! HP 2100 DOS-M page](/1970s/1970/hp2100dos-m/) to learn how to use it.

Extract the kit you downloaded. Inside you will find several files. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the file named `MTS.tape` into it. Open the `mtgen` folder inside the extracted folder and move the file called `conf_bootstrap.abs` to the VM folder.
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:

![SIMH Eclipse emulator with ! Nova RDOS](./nova-rdos-simh-eclipse-3.webp)
We can run [! Nova RDOS](/1970s/1972/nova-rdos) on the SIMH Eclipse emulator. First, we need to download the ! Nova RDOS kit for SIMH Eclipse emulator.
## Downloads
You can download the needed kit from the ["SIMH Legacy" website](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/):
- [! Nova RDOS kit for SIMH Eclipse emulator](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/kits/zrdos75.zip)
## Using ! Nova RDOS
:::tip
If you have not already installed SIMH Eclipse emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-eclipse/) on Linux and Windows.
:::
Extract the kit you downloaded. 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 ! Nova RDOS on SIMH Eclipse emulator. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
### Linux
Create a file called `Eclipse-RDOS.sh` with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
eclipse
```
Now make the file executable:
```bash
chmod +x Eclipse-RDOS.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/1972/nova-rdos/#manuals) on the [main ! Nova RDOS page](/1970s/1972/nova-rdos/) to learn how to use it.
### Windows
Create a file called `Eclipse-RDOS.bat` with the following content:
```bash
eclipse
```
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1972/nova-rdos/#manuals) on the [main ! Nova RDOS page](/1970s/1972/nova-rdos/) to learn how to use it.

Extract the kit you downloaded. Inside you will find two folders. Open the folder named `Disks`. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM, and move the file named `rdos_d31.dsk` 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:

There are different versions of RDOS for different models of Nova computer. They are:
- URDOS
- MRDOS
- NRDOS
- ZRDOS
If you want to run URDOS, run the following commmand at the `sim>` prompt:
```bash
set CPU NOVA
boot DZP
```
If you want to run MRDOS, run the following commmand at the `sim>` prompt:
```bash
set CPU NOVA_840
boot DZP
```
If you want to run NRDOS, run the following commmand at the `sim>` prompt:
```bash
set CPU NOVA_4/X
boot DZP
```
If you want to run ZRDOS, run the following commmand at the `sim>` prompt:
```bash
set CPU Eclipse_S/140
boot DZP
```
When prompted `Filename? `, type the name of the type of RDOS you want to run. For example, for NRDOS, type `NRDOS` and press enter.
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 type `LIST` and press enter. It will list all the files available on the disk.
![List of files in ! Nova RDOS](./nova-rdos-wh-3.webp)
That's it! We used ! Nova RDOS. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
### Linux
Create a file called `Nova-RDOS.sh` with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash

We can run [! CAPS-8](/1970s/1973/caps-8) on the SIMH PDP-8 emulator. First, we need to download the ! CAPS-8 kit.
## Downloads
You can download the kit needed to run ! CAPS-8 on the SIMH PDP-8 emulator from the ["SIMH Legacy" website](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/):

## Using ! CAPS-8
:::tip
If you have not already installed SIMH PDP-8 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp8/) on Linux and Windows.
:::
Extract the kit you downloaded. Inside you will find several files. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the file named `caps8.tu60` into it.
Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `pdp8.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
```ini
set mt disable
set ct enable
att ct0 caps8.tu60
boot ct0
```
![pdp8.ini](./CAPS-8-SIMH-1.webp)
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
pdp8
```
![pdp8](./CAPS-8-SIMH-2.webp)
After the emulator starts, you can enter `DIR` to see a list of files available:
![List of files in ! CAPS-8](./CAPS-8-SIMH-3.webp)
That's it! We used ! CAPS-8. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
### Linux
Create a file called `CAPS-8.sh` with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
pdp8
```
Now make the file executable:
```bash
chmod +x CAPS-8.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/caps-8/#manuals) on the [main ! CAPS-8 page](/1970s/1973/caps-8/) to learn how to use it.

# How to install ! Unix v4 on Ersatz-11?
![Ersatz-11 PDP-11 emulator with ! Unix v4](./unix-v4-Ersatz-11-3.webp)
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:
```
![e11.ini](./unix-v4-Ersatz-11-1.webp)
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
e11
```
![e11](unix-v4-Ersatz-11-2.webp)
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.
![! Unix-v4 list of files in root](./unix-v4-Ersatz-11-3.webp)
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.

# How to install ! Unix v5 on Ersatz-11?
![Ersatz-11 PDP-11 emulator with ! Unix v5](./unix-v5-Ersatz-11-3.webp)
We can run ! Unix v5 on the Ersatz-11 emulator. First, we need to download the ! Unix v5 kit.
## Downloads
You can download the kit needed to run ! Unix v5 from the [“SIMH Legacy” website](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/):
- [! Unix-v5 kit](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/kits/uv5swre.zip)
## Using ! Unix-v5
:::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 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
set cpu 45
mount dk0: unix_v5_rk.dsk /rk05
boot dk0:
```
![e11.ini](./unix-v5-Ersatz-11-1.webp)
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
e11
```
![e11](unix-v5-Ersatz-11-2.webp)
After the emulator starts, you will get a `@` prompt. Type `unix` and press enter to run the `unix` 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.
![! Unix-v5 list of files in root](./unix-v5-Ersatz-11-3.webp)
That's it! We used ! Unix-v5. 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-v5.sh` with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
e11
```
Now make the file executable:
```bash
chmod +x unix-v5.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/1974/unix-v5/#manuals) on the [main ! Unix-v5 page](/1970s/1974/unix-v5) to learn how to use it.
### Windows
Create a file called `unix-v5.bat` with the following content:
```bash
e11
```
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1974/unix-v5/#manuals) on the [main ! Unix-v5 page](/1970s/1974/unix-v5) to learn how to use it.

## 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.

We can run [! RSTS-11 v4B](/1970s/1975/rsts-11-v4b) on the Ersatz-11 emulator. First, we need to download the ! RSTS-11 v4B image.
## Downloads
:::tip
This tutorial covers how to use ! RSTS-11 v4B on Ersatz-11 emulator using a pre-installed image. If you want to manually install RSTS-11 v4B from its tape image, visit [this page](https://iamvirtual.ca/PDP-11/RSTS-11/Install.htm). That page covers installing it on SIMH, and not Ersatz-11, though.
:::
You can download the image needed to run ! RSTS-11 v4B from here:
- [! RSTS-11 v4B image](https://iamvirtual.ca/PDP-11/RSTS-11/RSTS11v4B.DSK)
## 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:
```
![e11.ini](./rsts-11-v4b-Ersatz-11-1.webp)
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
e11
```
![e11](./rsts-11-v4b-Ersatz-11-2.webp)
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.
![! RSTS-11 v4B](./rsts-11-v4b-Ersatz-11-3.webp)
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 ! RSTS-11 v4B on SIMH?
![SIMH PDP-11 emulator with ! RSTS-11 v4B](./rsts-11-v4b-SIMH-3.webp)
We can run [! RSTS-11 v4B](/1970s/1975/rsts-11-v4b) on the SIMH PDP-11 emulator. First, we need to download the ! RSTS-11 v4B image.
## Downloads
:::tip
This tutorial covers how to use ! RSTS-11 v4B on SIMH PDP-11 emulator using a pre-installed image. If you want to manually install RSTS-11 v4B from its tape image, visit [this page](https://iamvirtual.ca/PDP-11/RSTS-11/Install.htm).

## Using ! RSTS-11 v4B
:::tip
If you have not already installed SIMH PDP-11 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp11/) 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 `pdp11.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
```ini
set cpu 11/05
set cpu 64K
set clk 60HZ
set hk disable
set ptr disable
set dz disable
set rl disable
set rx disable
set rp disable
set rq disable
set tm disable
set ts disable
set tq disable
set tc disable
set tm enable
set rk enable
attach rk0 RSTS11v4B.DSK
attach lpt lineprinter.txt
boot rk0
```
![pdp11.ini](./rsts-11-v4b-SIMH-1.webp)
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
pdp11
```
![pdp11](./rsts-11-v4b-SIMH-2.webp)
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.
![Date and Time](./rsts-11-v4b-SIMH-3.webp)
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.
![List of files in ! RSTS-11 v4B](./rsts-11-v4b-SIMH-4.webp)
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
pdp11
```
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

# How to install ! RT-11 v2 on SIMH?
![SIMH PDP-11 emulator with ! RT-11 v2](./rt-11-v2-SIMH-3.webp)
We can run [! RT-11 v2](/1970s/1975/rt-11-v2) on the SIMH PDP-11 emulator. First, we need to download the ! RT-11 v2 image.
## Downloads
There are two different versions of RT-11 v2, whose image is available for us to use. They are RT-11 v2B and v2C. Both of them are mostly same, and you can use either. You can download the image needed to run ! RT-11 v2 on the SIMH PDP-11 emulator from here:
:::tip
These images come from [this ISO file](https://bitsavers.org/bits/DEC/pdp11/rt-11/Fine_RT-11_collection/RT11DV50.ISO.zip) on [bitsavers](https://bitsavers.org/). If you want, you can download the ISO file, and extract these images yourself.

## Using ! RT-11 v2
:::tip
If you have not already installed SIMH PDP-11 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp11/) on Linux and Windows.
:::
Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM, and move the disk image file into it.
Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `pdp11.ini` with the following content in the VM folder, if you chose the v2B image:
```ini
att rk0 RTV2RK.B
boot rk0
```
If you chose v2C instead, make your `pdp11.ini` file like this:
```ini
att rk0 RTV2RK.C
boot rk0
```
![pdp11.ini](./rt-11-v2-SIMH-1.webp)
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
pdp11
```
![pdp11](./rt-11-v2-SIMH-2.webp)
After the emulator starts, you will get a `.` prompt. Type `R PIP` and press enter to start PIP. Now run `/L` to get a list of files.
![List of files in ! RT-11 v2](./rt-11-v2-SIMH-3.webp)
To exit PIP, press `Ctrl` + `C`. To exit the emulator, type `Ctrl` + `E`, and then run `exit`.
That's it! We used ! RT-11 v2. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
### Linux
Create a file called `rt-11-v2.sh` with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
pdp11
```
Now make the file executable:
```bash
chmod +x rt-11-v2.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/rt-11-v2/#manuals) on the [main ! RT-11 v2 page](/1970s/1975/rt-11-v2) to learn how to use it.
### Windows
Create a file called `rt-11-v2.bat` with the following content:
```bash
pdp11
```
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1975/rt-11-v2/#manuals) on the [main ! RT-11 v2 page](/1970s/1975/rt-11-v2) to learn how to use it.

You will be asked to log in. Type `root` and press enter to log in. There is no password.
![! Unix-v6 login](./unix-v6-SIMH-id32-4.webp)
You will be notified that you have unread mail. Run `mail` to read a message from 1978! When asked whether you want to save it, type `n` and press enter.
![Mail from 1978](./unix-v6-SIMH-id32-5.webp)
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.
![! Unix-v6 list of files in root](./unix-v6-SIMH-id32-6.webp)
That's it! We used ! Unix-v6 on SIMH Interdata 7/32 emulator. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
### Linux
Create a file called `unix-v6-id32.sh` with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
id32
```
Now make the file executable:
```bash
chmod +x unix-v6-id32.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/unix-v6/#manuals) on the [main ! Unix-v6 page](/1970s/1975/unix-v6) to learn how to use it. For documents specific to the Interdata 7/32 port, see [this section](/1970s/1975/unix-v6/#interdata-732-specific-documentation).
### Windows
Create a file called `unix-v6-id32.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/unix-v6/#manuals) on the [main ! Unix-v6 page](/1970s/1975/unix-v6) to learn how to use it. For documents specific to the Interdata 7/32 port, see [this section](/1970s/1975/unix-v6/#interdata-732-specific-documentation).

# How to install ! Unix v6 on SIMH PDP-11 emulator?
![SIMH PDP-11 emulator with ! Unix v6](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-23.webp)
We can run ! Unix v6 on the SIMH PDP-11 emulator. First, we need to download the ! Unix v6 tape.
## Downloads
You can download the tape needed to run ! Unix v6 on the SIMH PDP-11 emulator from the [squoze.net](http://squoze.net/) website:
- [! Unix v6 tape](http://squoze.net/UNIX/v6/files/dist.tap)
## Installing ! Unix v6
:::tip
If you have not already installed SIMH PDP-11 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp11/) on Linux and Windows.
:::
Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the `dist.tap` file into it.
Now we will create a temporary config file for our VM. Create a text file called `pdp11.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
```ini
set cpu 11/40
set tm0 locked
attach tm0 dist.tap
attach rk0 rk0
attach rk1 rk1
attach rk2 rk2
d cpu 100000 012700
d cpu 100002 172526
d cpu 100004 010040
d cpu 100006 012740
d cpu 100010 060003
d cpu 100012 000777
g 100000
```
![Copying pdp11.ini](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-1.webp)
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
pdp11
```
![Copying pdp11](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-2.webp)
After the emulator starts, press `Ctrl` + `e`. You will get a `sim>` prompt. Type `g 0` to start the emulation.
![g 0](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-3.webp)
You will get an `=` prompt. Type `tmrk` and press enter. When asked for disk offset, type `0` and press enter. For tape offset, enter `100` and for count `1`.
![tmrk (1)](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-4.webp)
You will get back to an `=` prompt. Run `tmrk` again. This time, for disk offset, enter `1`, for tape offset `101` and for count `3999`.
![tmrk (1)](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-5.webp)
We have successfully copied the base ! Unix files to our disk. Now press `Ctrl` + `e` and enter `exit` to quit the emulator.
![copying to disk finished](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-6.webp)
Now we modify the `pdp11.ini` file and make it as follow:
```ini
set cpu 11/40
set tto 7b
set tm0 locked
attach tm0 dist.tap
attach rk0 rk0
attach rk1 rk1
attach rk2 rk2
dep system sr 173030
boot rk0
```
![Installation pdp11.ini](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-7.webp)
Once again, open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
pdp11
```
![Installation pdp11](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-8.webp)
At the `@` prompt, type `rkunix` and press enter. ! Unix will start.
![Installation unix](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-9.webp)
Now we will rebuild the kernel to support the devices supported bu SIMH. First run `STTY -LCASE` to make ! Unix use lowercase. Now run the following commands (pressing enter after each lines) to build the mkconf executable:
```bash
chdir /usr/sys/conf
cc mkconf.c
mv a.out mkconf
```
![Building mkconf](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-10.webp)
Now we will use mkconf. Run `mkconf` and then type the following, pressing enter after each line:
```bash
rk
tm
tc
8dc
lp
done
```
![mkconf](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-11.webp)
We will now build the kernel and move it to root. Run the following commands:
```bash
as m40.s
mv a.out m40.o
cc -c c.c
as l.s
ld -x a.out m40.o c.o ../lib1 ../lib2
mv a.out /unix
```
![make kernel](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-12.webp)
To verify that the kernel is successfully installed in root, run the following command:
```bash
ls -l /unix
```
![verify kernel](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-13.webp)
We will configure the device files now. Run the following commands one by one:
```bash
/etc/mknod /dev/rk0 b 0 0
/etc/mknod /dev/rk1 b 0 1
/etc/mknod /dev/rk2 b 0 2
/etc/mknod /dev/mt0 b 3 0
/etc/mknod /dev/tap0 b 4 0
/etc/mknod /dev/rrk0 c 9 0
/etc/mknod /dev/rrk1 c 9 1
/etc/mknod /dev/rrk2 c 9 2
/etc/mknod /dev/rmt0 c 12 0
/etc/mknod /dev/lp0 c 2 0
/etc/mknod /dev/tty0 c 3 0
/etc/mknod /dev/tty1 c 3 1
/etc/mknod /dev/tty2 c 3 2
/etc/mknod /dev/tty3 c 3 3
/etc/mknod /dev/tty4 c 3 4
/etc/mknod /dev/tty5 c 3 5
/etc/mknod /dev/tty6 c 3 6
/etc/mknod /dev/tty7 c 3 7
chmod 640 /dev/*rk*
chmod 640 /dev/*mt*
chmod 640 /dev/*tap*
```
![configure device files](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-14.webp)
We will copy the source and documentation of ! Unix v6 from the tape to disks now. Run the following commands:
```bash
dd if=/dev/mt0 of=/dev/rk1 count=4000 skip=4100
/etc/mount /dev/rk1 /usr/source
dd if=/dev/mt0 of=/dev/rk2 count=4000 skip=8100
mkdir /usr/doc
```
![copy doc and source](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-15.webp)
We will add configuration to mount the source and doc disk to correct location on each boot. To do so, run `cat >> /etc/rc` and then type the following two lines (pressing enter after each line):
```bash
/etc/mount /dev/rk1 /usr/source
/etc/mount /dev/rk2 /usr/doc
```
Then press `Ctrl` + `D`.
![configure automount of doc and source disks](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-16.webp)
Now we will rebuild the `df` command. To configure `df`, run `chdir /usr/source/s1` to change to appropriate directory, and then run `ed df.c`. Then type the following lines, pressing enter after each line (taking care of the whitespace):
```bash
/rp0/d
.-2a
"/dev/rk0",
"/dev/rk1",
.
w
q
```
Then compile `df` by running `cc -s -O df.c`. Then run the following commands to install it in the correct location:
```bash
cp a.out /bin/df
rm a.out
```
![recompile df](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-17.webp)
You can check the filesystem by running these commands:
```bash
icheck /dev/rrk0
dcheck /dev/rrk0
icheck /dev/rrk1
dcheck /dev/rrk1
icheck /dev/rrk2
dcheck /dev/rrk2
```
![check filesystem](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-18.webp)
At last we will enable multiuser access for ! Unix. Run `ed /etc/ttys`, and type the following lines, pressing enter after each line:
```bash
1,8s/^0/1/p
w
q
```
![multiuser access](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-19.webp)
That's it. Now run `sync` a few times, and then press `Ctrl` + `e` to pause the emulation. Enter `exit` to quit the emulator
We have successfully installed ! Unix v6. Now you can delete the `pdp11.ini` and `dist.tap` file.
## Running Unix v6
Create a fresh `pdp11.ini` file with the following contents:
```ini
set cpu 11/40
set cpu idle
set tto 7b
set tm0 locked
attach rk0 rk0
attach rk1 rk1
attach rk2 rk2
attach lpt printer.txt
set dci en
set dci lines=8
set dco 7b
att dci 5555
boot rk0
```
![pdp11.ini](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-21.webp)
Open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
pdp11
```
At the `@` prompt, type `unix` and press enter. ! Unix v6 will start.
You will be asked to log in. Type `root` and press enter to log in. There is no password.
![! Unix v6 login](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-22.webp)
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.
![! Unix v6 list of files in root](./unix-v6-SIMH-PDP-11-23.webp)
That's it! We used ! Unix v6. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
### Linux
Create a file called `unix-v6.sh` with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
pdp11
```
Now make the file executable:
```bash
chmod +x unix-v6.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/unix-v6/#manuals) on the [main ! Unix v6 page](/1970s/1975/unix-v6) to learn how to use it.
### Windows
Create a file called `unix-v6.bat` with the following content:
```bash
pdp11
```
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1975/unix-v6/#manuals) on the [main ! Unix v6 page](/1970s/1975/unix-v6) to learn how to use it.

![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.

# How to install ! HP 2100 RTE-III on SIMH?
![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.
:::
- [! HP 2100 RTE-III disk image](https://github.com/InstallerLegacy/HP2100/raw/refs/heads/main/sw/RTE-III/RTE-III.disc)
## 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.

# How to install ! XVM/DOS and ! XVM/RSX on SIMH?
![SIMH PDP-15 emulator with ! XVM/RSX](./xvm-dos-rsx-SIMH-4.webp)
We can run [! XVM/DOS and ! XVM/RSX](/1970s/1976/xvm-dos-rsx) on the SIMH PDP-15 emulator. First, we need to download the ! XVM/RSX and ! XVM/DOS kit.
## Downloads
You can download the kit needed from the ["SIMH Legacy"](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/) website:
- [! XVM/RSX and ! XVM/DOS kit](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/kits/xvmrsx_simh_kit.zip)
## Using ! XVM/DOS & ! XVM/RSX
:::tip
If you have not already installed SIMH PDP-15 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp15/) on Linux and Windows.
:::
Extract the kit you downloaded. Inside you will find several files. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the files named `xvmrsx_rp02.dsk` and `rpboot.rim` into it.
Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `pdp15.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
```ini
set cpu api
set cpu xvm
set ttix lines=5
a ttix 2311
a rp0 xvmrsx_rp02.dsk
l rpboot.rim 77637
run
```
![pdp15.ini](./xvm-dos-rsx-SIMH-1.webp)
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
```bash
pdp15
```
If you get a prompt asking if you want to allow network access, click on yes. On Linux, you may want to run the above command with `sudo` or as `root`, for it to work properlly.
![pdp15](./xvm-dos-rsx-SIMH-2.webp)
When asked for a date, enter it in `MM/DD/YY` format. You _cannot_ use backspace to erase characters, even if it looks like you can. Try entering a date from 1980s or 90s, to avoid any problems.
Now that ! XVM/DOS is ready, let's run some commands on it. Type `PIP` and press enter to start PIP. Then run `L TT_SY` to see the list of files.
![List of files in ! XVM/DOS](./xvm-dos-rsx-SIMH-3.webp)
That's it! We used ! XVM/DOS. Now, to run ! XVM/RSX, we first need to close PIP. Do so by pressing `Ctrl` + `C`. Then run `RSX` to start ! XVM/RSX.
:::tip
Telnet client may not be installed by default depending on your host operating system. You can install it by following [this VirtualHub Setup tutorial](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/telnet/).
:::
To connect to ! XVM/RSX, we need to use telnet. Run `telnet 127.0.0.1 2311` in a new terminal window, and then press `Ctrl` + `T`. When asked for disk type, enter `RP` and press enter. You will be connected to ! XVM/RSX.
![! XVM/RSX](./xvm-dos-rsx-SIMH-4.webp)
That's it, we used ! XVM/RSX. To stop the VM, go back to the main terminal window, and press `Ctrl` + `E`. 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 `xvm-dos-rsx.sh` with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
pdp15
```
Now make the file executable:
```bash
chmod +x xvm-dos-rsx.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/xvm-dos-rsx/#manuals) on the [main ! ! XVM/DOS and ! XVM/RSX page](/1970s/1976/xvm-dos-rsx/) to learn how to use them.
### Windows
Create a file called `xvm-dos-rsx.bat` with the following content:
```bash
pdp15
```
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1976/xvm-dos-rsx/#manuals) on the [main ! XVM/DOS and ! XVM/RSX page](/1970s/1976/xvm-dos-rsx/) to learn how to use it.
