This emulator came about because years ago I was a programmer for RSTS/E on a PDP 11/45 and had admired the console idle loop light pattern - but I couldn't quite remember how it looked. Given the unavailability of real systems it became time to write
an emulator!
I was going to start with a PDP 11/45 emulator but the extra memory of a PDP 11/70 became far too attractive (a whole 4MB!). It took some time before I finally produced a
PDP 11/45
version.
I have met my core objective - I can now see the RSTS/E console light pattern that I was looking for, and found that newer versions (eg v9.6) have a different light pattern. Also I have now seen some of the light patterns for other OSes. RSX and BSD 2.11
have their own different patterns and Unix V5 and Ultrix operate with absolute minimum light movement (I'm assuming they operates mostly in WAIT mode).
Getting all of the operating systems used here presents its own set of challenges - one of which is finding the software in the first place. But one of the most interesting was RSTS/E V06C which has its own
story
.
Note: The boot code in this emulator is a custom PDP 11 program running with it's own set of light patterns. It is initially loaded at address 140000 and the LIGHTS command operates by mapping a WAIT instruction to different addresses within Supervisor
mode. The source for this program can be found in the RT11 operating environment as
BOOT.MAC
You can use this code to boot one of the guest OSes or use the LIGHTS command and DIAG command to experiment with idle light patterns and
load test the CPU.
If you wish to toggle in a simple light chaser to the front panel then here are some switch commands which can be used:
To restart the initial boot code (if it has not been overwritten) use the switch commands:
HALT, 140000, LOAD ADDRESS, ENABLE, START
If you plan to run the emulator repeatedly or for a project, consider downloading the emulator to your own machine or server. This will
significantly
speed any of the emulator disk accesses and response times. All files and emulator OS
disks can be found in the top level folder of
http://skn.noip.me/pdp11/
or in the single zip file
http://skn.noip.me/pdp11/pdp11.zip
This emulator matches approximately the following SIMH configuration:
set cpu 11/70 1912K nofpp !1912K is not actually SIMH legal - use 2M instead
set clk 50hz
attach rk0 rk0.dsk !RK05 image of Unix V5
attach rk1 rk1.dsk !RK05 image of RT11 v4.0
attach rk2 rk2.dsk !RK05 image of RSTS V06C-03

attach rp4 rp4.dsk !RP04 image of RSTS/E v10.1
attach tm0 tm0.tap !Backup of RSTS 4B-17
attach tm1 tm1.tap !Distribution for RSTS V06C-03
attach tm2 tm2.tap !Distribution for RSTS V7.0
This emulator then loads in the BOOT.MAC code to location 140000 and begins execution there.
There are many PDP emulators out there and I have never seen what I consider to be a complete list. Some of the really interesting ones can be found by googling terms such as "vhdl pdp 11". However the gold standard seems to be SIMH at
Trailing Edge
.
A different approach to Javascript PDP 11 emulation can be found at
www.pcjs.org
.
I believe that the first PDP 11 emulator would be SIM-11 written in FORTRAN before the first PDP 11/20 hardware was even built - see
How the PDP-11 Was Born
. There is more PDP 11 history at
www.hampage.hu
.
Of course if you want your own PDP 11/70 front panel you might consider a
PiDP-11
.
Happy emulating!

WELCOME TO ADVENTURE!! WOULD YOU LIKE INSTRUCTIONS?
yes
SOMEWHERE NEARBY IS COLOSSAL CAVE, WHERE OTHERS HAVE FOUND FORTUNES IN
TREASURE AND GOLD, THOUGH IT IS RUMORED THAT SOME WHO ENTER ARE NEVER
SEEN AGAIN. MAGIC IS SAID TO WORK IN THE CAVE. I WILL BE YOUR EYES
AND HANDS. DIRECT ME WITH COMMANDS OF 1 OR 2 WORDS. I SHOULD WARN
YOU THAT I LOOK AT ONLY THE FIRST FOUR LETTERS OF EACH WORD, SO YOU'LL
HAVE TO ENTER "NORTHEAST" AS "NE" TO DISTINGUISH IT FROM "NORTH".
(SHOULD YOU GET STUCK, TYPE "HELP" FOR SOME GENERAL HINTS. FOR INFOR-
MATION ON HOW TO END YOUR ADVENTURE, ETC., TYPE "INFO".)

HELP
Help is available for many RSX-11M commands and utilities.
For help in logging into the system, type HELP HELLO or HELP
LOGIN. You'll need a user-ID and password to log in. Ask your
system manager.
RSX-11M systems have two major command languages or CLIs: MCR
and DCL. Once you log in, your terminal is set to either
MCR or DCL. (All terminals are set to MCR prior to logging in.)
The general forms of the HELP command are:
>HELP[/cli] topic [subtopic[s]]
>HELP commandname [switch]
Once you are logged in, you need not include the name of the CLI
to which your terminal is set.
For information on what further help is available, type
HELP[/MCR] LIST (brackets indicate an optional command line
entry) or HELP/DCL. For a listing of help available on other
topics, type HELP[/MCR] MORE or HELP/DCL MORE. You need not
log in to get help.

Bugs?
Plenty! Especially in the places where I haven't managed to figure out what a real PDP 11/70 should do. :-( Core PDP 11/70 stuff is well documented but some lesser used system functions require reverse engineering to understand.
If you have something you want me to look at let me know and I'll prioritise. However always happy to accept fixes!
