Unix had its early growth on PDP-11's. The group where I currently work still develops software in MACRO-11 running under RSX11M. It would be extremely useful to have a PDP-11 emulator running under SunOS 4.1. Please send me any pointers to products, PD software, etc. I suppose I could roll my own, but surely somebody's done it already. I suppose the big-endian vs. little-endian problem could be a slight hassle. Please reply to me by e-mail.

Interestingly, I have been working on a PDP-11 emulator and recently finished adding virtual memory hardware to it. I hope to get it to the point where I can boot V7 or 2.10BSD on it.... > I suppose the big-endian vs. little-endian problem could be a slight > hassle. That is actually the least of the problems. Much more significant are the different floating-point formats and the big one: speed. (My current version blazes right along at about 5-10 KIPS. K, not M.) If you really want a copy, I can send you one, but I don't have it in release shape yet. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
