Which emulator did you use? Simh?
- jle17 10y agoNot OP but I recently installed OpenVMS 7.3 on Simh following this guide [1], (ignoring the building Simh part) and it works like a charm. [1] https://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html https://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html
- oxryly1 10y agoWhat's the easiest way to get OpenVMS these days?
- michrassena 10y agoThe official site is here: http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/news.php http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/news.php You can sign up as a hobbyist here: http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registration.php http://plato.ccsscorp.com/hobbyist_registration.php someone will email you in the next day or so with a license installer and the URLs to download the software. Also they have the Alpha version of OpenVMS available.
- michrassena 10y agoI used Simh Vax, but I've also used Charon-VAX in the past when they were allowing free usage of the software (I don't know the current situation). Charon was quite fast at the time on the hardware I had in maybe 2008 or so. But I've used Simh recently and it's plenty fast enough on modern hardware.
