A revised version of my IBM PC simulator is available by FTP. Many thanks
|
|
to David Barto for his help in improving it. The simulator could still
|
|
stand improvement, so who knows, maybe your name could be in the posting
|
|
of the next revision.
|
|
|
|
The simulator runs on the SPARC and probably other machines, although this
|
|
has not been tested. It simulates enough I/O gear of the IBM PC that
|
|
you can run MINIX 1.1 on the simulator. The simulator is not perfect,
|
|
but may be of some interest to people. It will not run MS-DOS because
|
|
MS-DOS needs a BIOS, and the BIOS is copyrighted, so it is not included
|
|
in the simulator. If you provide your own BIOS, it might work. This
|
|
has never been tried.
|
|
|
|
The simulator is available ONLY by FTP. It is on ftp.cs.vu.nl (192.31.231.42)
|
|
in directory minix/simulator. There is also other minix stuff in minix/*
|
|
as well as Amoeba stuff in Amoeba/* (Amoeba is a distributed operating system).
|
|
All the directories have READ_ME files explaining what's in them.
|
|
|
|
Everything in all the directories is copyright. Permission is hereby
|
|
granted to upload and use the files for educational and research use only.
|
|
Other use requires written permission from the copyright owner.
