# How to install ! HP 2100 DOS-M on SIMH?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
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/):

|
||
## 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 extrcted 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
|
||
set dpc sc=22
|
||
set dpc ena
|
||
att dpc DOS-M.disc
|
||
att ptr conf_bootstrap.abs
|
||
boot ptr
|
||
reset
|
||
d s 0
|
||
go 2 until "@"
|
||
reply ":DATE,10JULY1971\r"
|
||
go until "@"
|
||
reply ":JOB\r"
|
||
go
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
hp2100
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
After the emulator starts, type `:LIST,X,1` and press enter. It will list all the files available on the disk.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
That's it! We used ! HP 2100 DOS-M. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM. 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
|
||
|
||
:::tip
|
||
|
||
You should use Linux. If you don’t know how to install a Linux distro, see [our tutorials on how to install Kubuntu](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/tag/os/), a beginner-friendly distro.
|
||
|
||
:::
|
||
|
||
On Windows, you need to place the `hp2100.exe` file you downloaded in [this tutorial](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-hp2100#windows) in the VM folder. Then you can follow the above tutorial as usual. The shell script will not work on Windows. You need to rename it to `HP-2100-DOS-M.bat`. Then you can double-click the file to launch the VM, no need to make it executable.
