Is it possible to run the M2000 PROM monitor on the sable simulator? (I have the SPP 5.00 package). When I tried it, it failed in the "prom_recognition" routine because the cpu board type returned by "get_machine_type" was not 'R3200'. If the sable configuration variable "memory_map" is set to 'mbox', "get_machine_type" returns 'R2300'. If "memory_map" is set to 'm120', "get_machine_type" returns 'R2400'. These are the only two memory map models that are provided with sable.

No, there is not an M/2000 memory model for sable. You can either (a) build the M/2000 PROM monitor with a test that allows BRDTYPE_R2300, or (b) clone the mbox model, changing it based on the memory map described in the M/2000 Technical Reference. -- ROGER B.A. KLORESE MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. phone: +1 408 720-2939 MS 4-02 950 DeGuigne Dr. Sunnyvale, CA 94086 voicemail: +1 408 524-7421 rogerk@mips.COM {ames,decwrl,pyramid}!mips!rogerk "I'm the NLA" "Maybe this world is another planet's hell." -- Aldous Huxley
