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 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:

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:

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.

Linux

Create a file called HP-2100-DOS-M.sh with the following content:

#!/bin/bash
hp2100

Now make the file executable:

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 on the main ! HP 2100 DOS-M page to learn how to use it.

Windows

Create a file called HP-2100-DOS-M.bat with the following content:

hp2100

Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the manuals section on the main ! HP 2100 DOS-M page to learn how to use it.
