and XU devices can be set DISABLED.  RQB, RQC, RQD, RY, TS, XQB, and XU are
disabled by default.

The PDP-11 simulator implements several unique stop conditions:

	- abort during exception vector fetch, and register STOP_VEC is set
	- abort during exception stack push, and register STOP_SPA is set
	- trap condition 'n' occurs, and register STOP_TRAP<n> is set
	- wait state entered, and no I/O operations outstanding
	  (ie, no interrupt can ever occur)
	- a simulated DECtape runs off the end of its reel

The PDP-11 loader supports standard binary format tapes.  The DUMP command
is not implemented.

If a capability is standard, it cannot be disabled; if a capability is
not included, it cannot be enabled.

The CPU implements a show command to display the I/O address assignments:

	SHOW CPU IOSPACE	show I/O space address assignments

If memory size is being reduced, and the memory being truncated contains
non-zero data, the simulator asks for confirmation.  Data in the truncated
portion of memory is lost.  Initial memory size is 256KB.  If memory size
is being increased to more than 256KB, or the bus structue is being changed,
the simulator asks whether it should disable peripherals that can't run
in the current bus structure.

These switches are recognized when examining or depositing in CPU memory:

	-v			interpret address as virtual
	-d			if mem mgt enabled, force data space
	-k			if mem mgt enabled, force kernel mode
	-s			if mem mgt enabled, force supervisor mode
	-u			if mem mgt enabled, force user mode
	-p			if mem mgt enabled, force previous mode

CPU registers include the architectural state of the PDP-11 processor
as well as the control registers for the interrupt system.

2.2 I/O Devices

2.2.1 Unibus and Qbus DMA Devices

DMA peripherals function differently, depending on whether the CPU is
configured for Unibus or Qbus, and whether the Unibus system supports
22b direct memory access (11/70 with RH70 controllers):

	peripheral	11/70	all	Qbus
			+RH70	other
				Unibus

	RK		18b	18b	disabled
	HK		18b	18b	disabled
	RL		18b	18b	22b RLV12
	RP		22b	18b	22b third party
	RQ		18b	18b	22b RQDX3
	RY		18b	18b	disabled
	TC		18b	18b	disabled
	TM		18b	18b	disabled
	TS		18b	18b	22b TSV05
	TQ		18b	18b	22b TQK50
	TU		22b	18b	22b third party
	VH		18b	18b	22b DHQ11
	XQ		disabled	22b DELQA
	XU		18b	18b	disabled

Non-DMA peripherals work the same in all configurations.  Unibus-only
peripherals are disabled in a Qbusconfiguration, and Qbus-only
peripherals are disabled in a Unibus configuration.  In addition,
Qbus DMA peripherals with only 18b addressing capability are
disabled in a Qbus configuration with more than 256KB memory.

2.2.2 I/O Device Addressing

PDP-11 I/O space is not large enough to allow all possible devices to be
configured simultaneously at fixed addresses.  Instead, many devices have
floating addresses; that is, the assigned device address depends on the
presense of other devices in the configuration:

	DZ11		all instances have floating addresses
	DHU11/DHQ11	all instances have floating addresses
	RL11		first instance has fixed address, rest floating
	RX11/RX211	first instance has fixed address, rest floating
	DEUNA/DELUA	first instance has fixed address, rest floating
	MSCP disk	first instance has fixed address, rest floating
	TMSCP tape	first instance has fixed address, rest floating

To maintain addressing consistency as the configuration changes, the
simulator implements DEC's standard I/O address and vector autoconfiguration
algorithms for devices DZ, RL, RX, RY, XU, RQ, and TQ.  This allows the
user to enable or disable devices without needing to manage I/O addresses
and vectors.  For example, if RY is enabled while RX is present, RY is
assigned an I/O address in the floating I/O space range; but if RX is
disabled and then RY is enabled, RY is assigned the fixed "first instance"
I/O address for floppy disks.

Autoconfiguration cannot solve address conflicts between devices with
overlapping fixed addresses.  For example, with default I/O page addressing,
the PDP-11 can support either a TM11 or a TS11, but not both, since they use
the same I/O addresses.

In addition to autoconfiguration, most devices support the SET ADDRESS
command, which allows the I/O page address of the device to be changed,
and the SET VECTOR command, which allows the vector of the device to be
changed.  Explicitly setting the I/O address of a device which normally
uses autoconfiguration DISABLES autoconfiguration for that device and for
the entire system.  As a consequence, the user may have to manually configure
all other autoconfigured devices, because the autoconfiguration algorithm
no longer recognizes the explicitly configured device.  A device can be
reset to autoconfigure with the SET <device> AUTOCONFIGURE command.  Auto-
configuration can be restored for the entire system with the SET CPU
AUTOCONFIGURE command.

The current I/O map can be displayed with the SHOW CPU IOSPACE command.
Addresses that have set by autoconfiguration are marked with an asterisk (*). 

All devices support the SHOW ADDRESS and SHOW VECTOR commands, which display
the device address and vector, respectively.

2.3 Programmed I/O Devices

2.3.1 PC11 Paper Tape Reader (PTR)

The paper tape reader (PTR) reads data from a disk file.  The POS
register specifies the number of the next data item to be read.  Thus,
by changing POS, the user can backspace or advance the reader.

The paper tape reader implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	BUF		8	last data item processed
	CSR		16	control/status register
	INT		1	interrupt pending flag
	ERR		1	error flag (CSR<15>)
	BUSY		1	busy flag (CSR<11>)
	DONE		1	device done flag (CSR<7>)
	IE		1	interrupt enable flag (CSR<6>)
	POS		32	position in the input file
	TIME		24	time from I/O initiation to interrupt
	STOP_IOE	1	stop on I/O error

Error handling is as follows:

	error	     STOP_IOE	processed as

	not attached	1	report error and stop
			0	out of tape

	end of file	1	report error and stop
			0	out of tape

	OS I/O error	x	report error and stop

2.3.2 PC11 Paper Tape Punch (PTP)

The paper tape punch (PTP) writes data to a disk file.  The POS
register specifies the number of the next data item to be written. 
Thus, by by changing POS, the user can backspace or advance the punch.

The paper tape punch implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	BUF		8	last data item processed
	CSR		16	control/status register
	INT		1	interrupt pending flag
	ERR		1	error flag (CSR<15>)
	DONE		1	device done flag (CSR<7>)
	IE		1	interrupt enable flag (CSR<6>)
	POS		32	position in the output file
	TIME		24	time from I/O initiation to interrupt
	STOP_IOE	1	stop on I/O error

Error handling is as follows:

	error	     STOP_IOE	processed as

	not attached	1	report error and stop
			0	out of tape

	OS I/O error	x	report error and stop

2.3.3 DL11 Terminal Input (TTI)

The terminal interfaces (TTI, TTO) can be set to one of two modes:
7B or 8B.  In 7B mode, input and output characters are masked  to 7
bits.  In 8B mode, characters are not modified.  Changing the mode
of either interface changes both.  The default mode is 8B.

The terminal input (TTI) polls the console keyboard for input.  It
implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	BUF		8	last data item processed
	CSR		16	control/status register
	INT		1	interrupt pending flag
	ERR		1	error flag (CSR<15>)
	DONE		1	device done flag (CSR<7>)
	IE		1	interrupt enable flag (CSR<6>)
	POS		32	number of characters input
	TIME		24	keyboard polling interval

2.3.4 DL11 Terminal Output (TTO)

The terminal output (TTO) writes to the simulator console window.  It
implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	BUF		8	last data item processed
	CSR		16	control/status register
	INT		1	interrupt pending flag
	ERR		1	error flag (CSR<15>)
	DONE		1	device done flag (CSR<7>)
	IE		1	interrupt enable flag (CSR<6>)
	POS		32	number of characters input
	TIME		24	time from I/O initiation to interrupt

2.3.5 LP11 Line Printer (LPT)

The line printer (LPT) writes data to a disk file.  The POS register
specifies the number of the next data item to be written.  Thus,
by changing POS, the user can backspace or advance the printer.

The line printer implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	BUF		8	last data item processed
	CSR		16	control/status register
	INT		1	interrupt pending flag
	ERR		1	error flag (CSR<15>)
	DONE		1	device done flag (CSR<7>)
	IE		1	interrupt enable flag (CSR<6>)
	POS		32	position in the output file
	TIME		24	time from I/O initiation to interrupt
	STOP_IOE	1	stop on I/O error

Error handling is as follows:

	error	     STOP_IOE	processed as

	not attached	1	report error and stop
			0	out of paper

	OS I/O error	x	report error and stop

2.3.6 Line-Time Clock (CLK)

The line-time clock (CLK) frequency can be adjusted as follows:

	SET CLK 60HZ		set frequency to 60Hz
	SET CLK 50HZ		set frequency to 50Hz

The default is 60Hz.

The line-time clock implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	CSR		16	control/status register
	INT		1	interrupt pending flag
	DONE		1	device done flag (CSR<7>)
	IE		1	interrupt enable flag (CSR<6>)
	TIME		24	clock interval

The line-time clock autocalibrates; the clock interval is adjusted up
or down so that the clock tracks actual elapsed time.

2.3.7 Programmable Clock (PCLK)

The programmable clock (PCLK) line frequency can be adjusted as follows:

	SET PCLK 60HZ		set frequency to 60Hz
	SET PCLK 50HZ		set frequency to 50Hz

The default is 60Hz.

The programmable clock implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	CSR		16	control/status register
	CSB		16	count set buffer
	CNT		16	current count
	INT		1	interrupt pending flag
	OVFL		1	overflow (error) flag (CSR<15>)

2.6 Massbus Subsystems

2.6.1 RH70/RH11 Massbus Adapters (RHA, RHB)

The RH70/RH11 Massbus adapters interface Massbus peripherals to the
memory bus or Unibus of the CPU.  The simulator provides two Massbus
adapters.  The first, RHA, is configured for the RP family of disk
drives.  The second, RHB, is configured for the TU family of tape
controllers.  By default, RHA is enabled and RHB is disabled.

Each RH adapter implements these registers:

	CS1		16	control/status register 1

	SET RPn BADBLOCK	write bad block table on last track

The type options can be used only when a unit is not attached to a file.
The bad block option can be used only when a unit is attached to a file.
Units can be set ENABLED or DISABLED.  The RP controller supports the
BOOT command.  In a Unibus system, the RP can implement either 18b
(URH11) addressing or 22b (URH70) addressing.  In a Qbus (Q22) system,
the RP always implements 22b addressing.

The RP controller implements the registers listed below.  Registers
suffixed with [0:7] are replicated per drive.

	name		size	comments

	CS1[0:7]	16	current operation
	DA[0:7]		16	desired surface, sector

	STOP_IOE	1	stop on I/O error

Error handling is as follows:

	error	     STOP_IOE	processed as

	not attached	1	report error and stop
			0	disk not ready

	end of file	x	assume rest of disk is zero

	OS I/O error	x	report error and stop

2.6.3 TM02/TM03/TE16/TU45/TU77 Magtapes (TU)

The TU controller implementes the Massbus family of 800/1600bpi tape
drives.  TU options include the ability to select the formatter type
(TM02 or TM03), to set the drive type to one of three drives (TE16,
TU45, or TU77), and to set the drives write enabled or write locked.

	SET TU TM02		set controller type to TM02
	SET TU TM03		set controller type to TM03
	set TUn TE16		set drive type to TE16
	SET TUn TU45		set drive type to TU45
	SET TUn TU77		set drive type to TU77

Units can be set ENABLED or DISABLED.  The TU controller supports the 
BOOT command.  In a Unibus system, the TU can implement either 18b
(URH11) addressing or 22b (URH70) addressing.  In a Qbus (Q22) system,
the TU always implements 22b addressing.

The TU controller implements the following registers:

	name		size	comments

	CS1		6	current operation
	FC		16	frame count
	FS		16	formatter status
	ER		16	formatter errors

Error handling is as follows:

	error			processed as

	not attached		tape not ready; if STOP_IOE, stop

	end of file		bad tape

	OS I/O error		parity error; if STOP_IOE, stop

2.7 RQDX3/UDA50 MSCP Disk Controllers (RQ, RQB, RQC, RQD)

The simulator implements four MSCP disk controllers, RQ, RQB, RQC, RQD.
Initially, RQB, RQC, and RQD are disabled.  Each RQ controller simulates
an RQDX3 MSCP disk controller.  RQ options include the ability to set
units write enabled or write locked, and to set the drive type to one
of many disk types:

	SET RQn LOCKED		set unit n write locked
	SET RQn WRITEENABLED	set unit n write enabled
	SET RQn RX50		set type to RX50
	SET RQn RX33		set type to RX33
	SET RQn RD51		set type to RD51
	SET RQn RD52		set type to RD52
	SET RQn RD53		set type to RD53
	SET RQn RD54		set type to RD54
	SET RQn RD31		set type to RD31
	SET RQn RA82		set type to RA82
	SET RQn RA72		set type to RA72
	SET RQn RA90		set type to RA90
	SET RQn RA92		set type to RA92
	SET RQn RRD40		set type to RRD40 (CD ROM)
	SET RQn RAUSER{=n}	set type to RA81 with n MB's
	SET -L RQn RAUSER{=n}	set type to RA81 with n LBN's

The type options can be used only when a unit is not attached to a file.
RAUSER is a "user specified" disk; the user can specify the size of the
disk in either MB (1000000 bytes) or logical block numbers (LBN's, 512
bytes each).  The minimum size is 5MB; the maximum size is 2GB.

Units can also be set ENABLED or DISABLED.  Each RQ controller supports the
BOOT command.  In a Unibus system, an RQ supports 18b addressing and
identifies itself as a UDA50.  In a Qbus (Q22) system, an RQ supports 22b
addressing and identifies itself as an RQDX3.

Each RQ controller implements the following special SHOW commands:

	SHOW RQn TYPE		show drive type
	SHOW RQ RINGS		show command and response rings
	SHOW RQ FREEQ		show packet free queue
	SHOW RQ RESPQ		show packet response queue
	SHOW RQ UNITQ		show unit queues
	SHOW RQ ALL		show all ring and queue state
	SHOW RQn UNITQ		show unit queues for unit n

Each RQ controller implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	SA		16	status/address register
	S1DAT		16	step 1 init host data
	CQBA		22	command queue base address
	CQLNT		8	command queue length
	CQIDX		8	command queue index
	RQBA		22	request queue base address
	RQLNT		8	request queue length
	RQIDX		8	request queue index
	FREE		5	head of free packet list
	RESP		5	head of response packet list
	PBSY		5	number of busy packets
	CFLGS		16	controller flags
	CSTA		4	controller state
	PERR		9	port error number
	CRED		5	host credits
	HAT		17	host available timer
	HTMO		17	host timeout value
	CPKT[0:3]	5	current packet, units 0-3
	PKTQ[0:3]	5	packet queue, units 0-3
	UFLG[0:3]	16	unit flags, units 0-3
	INT		1	interrupt request
	ITIME		1	response time for initialization steps
				(except for step 4)
	QTIME		24	response time for 'immediate' packets
	XTIME		24	response time for data transfers
	PKTS[33*32]	16	packet buffers, 33W each,
				32 entries

Some DEC operating systems, notably RSX11M/M+, are very sensitive to
the timing parameters.  Changing the default values may cause M/M+ to
crash on boot or to hang during operation.

Error handling is as follows:

	error	     		processed as

	not attached		disk not ready

	end of file		assume rest of disk is zero

	OS I/O error		report error and stop

2.8 TC11/TU56 DECtape (DT)

DECtapes drives are numbered 1-8; in the simulator, drive 8 is unit 0.
DECtape options include the ability to make units write enabled or write
locked.

	SET DTn LOCKED		set unit n write locked
	SET DTn WRITEENABLED	set unit n write enabled

Units can be set ENABLED or DISABLED.  The TC11 supports the BOOT command.
The TC11 is automatically disabled in a Qbus system.

The TC11 supports supports PDP-8 format, PDP-11 format, and 18b format
DECtape images.  ATTACH tries to determine the tape format from the DECtape
image; the user can force a particular format with switches:

	-r			PDP-8 format
	-s			PDP-11 format
	-t			18b format

The DECtape controller is a data-only simulator; the timing and mark
track, and block header and trailer, are not stored.  Thus, the WRITE
TIMING AND MARK TRACK function is not supported; the READ ALL function
always returns the hardware standard block header and trailer; and the
WRITE ALL function dumps non-data words into the bit bucket.

The TC controller implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	TCST		16	status register
	TCCM		16	command register
	TCWC		16	word count register
	TCBA		16	bus address register
	TCDT		16	data register
	INT		1	interrupt pending flag
	ERR		1	error flag
	DONE		1	done flag
	IE		1	interrupt enable flag
	CTIME		31	time to complete transport stop
	LTIME		31	time between lines
	DCTIME		31	time to decelerate to a full stop
	SUBSTATE	2	read/write command substate
	POS[0:7]	32	position, in lines, units 0-7
	STATT[0-7]	31	unit state, units 0-7
	STOP_OFFR	1	stop on off-reel error

It is critically important to maintain certain timing relationships
among the DECtape parameters, or the DECtape simulator will fail to
operate correctly.

	- LTIME must be at least 6
	- DCTIME needs to be at least 100 times LTIME

Acceleration time is set to 75% of deceleration time.

2.9 Magnetic Tape Controllers
	
2.9.1 TM11 Magnetic Tape (TM)

TM options include the ability to make units write enabled or write
locked.

	SET TMn LOCKED		set unit n write locked
	SET TMn WRITEENABLED	set unit n write enabled

Units can be set ENABLED or DISABLED.

The TM11 supports the BOOT command.  The bootstrap supports both original
and DEC standard boot formats.  Originally, a tape bootstrap read and
executed the first record on tape.  To allow for ANSI labels, the DEC
standard bootstrap skipped the first record and read and executed the
second.  The DEC standard is the default; to bootstrap an original format
tape, use the -o switch.

The TM11 is automatically disabled in a Qbus (Q22) system with more than
256KB of memory.

The TM controller implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	MTS		16	status
	MTC		16	command
	MTCMA		16	memory address
	MTBRC		16	byte/record count

	end of file		bad tape

	OS I/O error		parity error; if STOP_IOE, stop

2.9.2 TS11/TSV05 Magnetic Tape (TS)

The TS actually implements the TSV05, with 22-bit addressing, but will
work with TS11 drivers.  TS options include the ability to make the unit
write enabled or write locked.

	SET TS LOCKED		set unit write locked
	SET TS WRITEENABLED	set unit write enabled

The TS11 supports the BOOT command.  The bootstrap supports only DEC
standard boot formats.  To allow for ANSI labels, the DEC standard
bootstrap skipped the first record and read and executed the second.
In a Unibus system, the TS behaves like the TS11 and implements 18b
addresses.  In a Qbus (Q22) system, the TS behaves like the TSV05
and implements 22b addresses.

The TS controller implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	TSSR		16	status register
	TSBA		16	bus address register
	TSDBX		16	data buffer extension register

	OWNC		1	if set, tape owns command buffer
	OWNM		1	if set, tape owns message buffer
	TIME		24	delay
	POS		32	position

Error handling is as follows:

	error			processed as

	not attached		tape not ready

	end of file		bad tape

	OS I/O error		fatal tape error

2.9.3 TQK50 TMSCP Disk Controller (TQ)

	INT		1	interrupt request
	ITIME		1	response time for initialization steps
				(except for step 4)
	QTIME		24	response time for 'immediate' packets
	XTIME		24	response time for data transfers
	PKTS[33*32]	16	packet buffers, 33W each,
				32 entries

Some DEC operating systems, notably RSX11M/M+, are very sensitive to
the timing parameters.  Changing the default values may cause M/M+ to
crash on boot or to hang during operation.

Error handling is as follows:

	error	     		processed as

	not attached		tape not ready

	end of file		end of medium

	OS I/O error		fatal tape error

2.10 Communications Devices

2.10.1 DZ11 Terminal Multiplexor (DZ)

The DZ11 is an 8-line terminal multiplexor.  Up to 4 DZ11's (32 lines)
are supported.  The number of lines can be changed with the command

	SET DZ LINES=n		set line count to n

The line count must be a multiple of 8, with a maximum of 32.

The DZ11 supports 8-bit input and output of characters.  8-bit output
may be incompatible with certain operating systems.  The command

	SET DZ 7B

forces output characters (only) to be masked to 7 bits.

The DZ11 supports logging on a per-line basis.  The command

	SET DZ LOG=line=filename

enables logging for the specified line to the indicated file.  The
command

	SET DZ NOLOG=line

disables logging for the specified line and closes any open log file.
Finally, the command

	SHOW DZ LOG

displays logging information for all DZ lines.

The terminal lines perform input and output through Telnet sessions
connected to a user-specified port.  The ATTACH command specifies
the port to be used:

	ATTACH {-am} DZ <port>	set up listening port

where port is a decimal number between 1 and 65535 that is not being used
for other TCP/IP activities.  The optional switch -m turns on the DZ11's
modem controls; the optional switch -a turns on active disconnects
(disconnect session if computer clears Data Terminal Ready).  Without
modem control, the DZ behaves as though terminals were directly connected;
disconnecting the Telnet session does not cause any operating system-
visible change in line status.

Once the DZ is attached and the simulator is running, the DZ will listen
for connections on the specified port.  It assumes that the incoming
connections are Telnet connections.  The connection remains open until
disconnected by the simulated program, the Telnet client, a SET DZ
DISCONNECT command, or a DETACH DZ command.

The SHOW DZ CONNECTIONS command displays the current connections to the DZ.
The SHOW DZ STATISTICS command displays statistics for active connections.
The SET DZ DISCONNECT=linenumber disconnects the specified line.

The DZ11 implements these registers:

	name		size	comments

	CSR[0:3]	16	control/status register, boards 0..3
	RBUF[0:3]	16	receive buffer, boards 0..3
	LPR[0:3]	16	line parameter register, boards 0..3
	TCR[0:3]	16	transmission control register, boards 0..3
	MSR[0:3]	16	modem status register, boards 0..3
	TDR[0:3]	16	transmit data register, boards 0..3
	SAENB[0:3]	1	silo alarm enabled, boards 0..3
	RXINT		4	receive interrupts, boards 3..0
	TXINT		4	transmit interrupts, boards 3..0
	MDMTCL		1	modem control enabled
	AUTODS		1	autodisconnect enabled

The DZ11 does not support save and restore.  All open connections are
lost when the simulator shuts down or the DZ is detached.

2.10.2 DHQ11 Terminal Multiplexor (VH)

The DHQ11 is an 8-line terminal multiplexor for Qbus systems.  Up
to 4 DHQ11's are supported.

The DHQ11 is a programmable asynchronous terminal multiplexor.  It
has two programming modes: DHV11 and DHU11.  The register sets are
compatible with these devices.  For transmission, the DHQ11 can be
used in either DMA or programmed I/O mode.  For reception, there
is a 256-entry FIFO for received characters, dataset status changes,
and diagnostic information, and a programmable input interrupt
timer (in DHU mode).  The device supports 16-, 18-, and 22-bit
addressing.  The DHQ11 can be programmed to filter and/or handle
XON/XOFF characters independently of the processor.  The DHQ11
supports programmable bit width (between 5 and 8) for the input
and output of characters.

The DHQ11 has a rocker switch for determining the programming mode.
By default, the DHV11 mode is selected, though DHU11 mode is
recommended for applications that can support it.  The VH controller
may be adjusted on a per controller basis as follows:

	SET VHn DHU		use the DHU programming mode and registers
	SET VHn DHV		use the DHV programming mode and registers

DMA output is supported.  In a real DHQ11, DMA is not initiated
immediately upon receipt of TX.DMA.START but is dependent upon some
internal processes.  The VH controller mimics this behavior by default.
It may be desirable to alter this and start immediately, though
this may not be compatible with all operating systems and diagnostics.
You can change the behavior of the VH controller as follows:

	SET VHn NORMAL		use normal DMA procedures
	SET VHn FASTDMA		set DMA to initiate immediately

The terminal lines perform input and output through Telnet sessions
connected to a user-specified port.  The ATTACH command specifies
the port to be used:

        ATTACH VH <port>	set up listening port
	DETACH VH

where port is a decimal number between 1 and 65535 that is not
being used for other TCP/IP activities.  This port is the point of
entry for al lines on all VH controllers.

Modem and auto-disconnect support may be set on an individual
controller basis.  The SET MODEM command directs the controller to
report modem status changes to the computer.  The SET HANGUP command
turns on active disconnects (disconnect session if computer clears
Data Terminal Ready).

	SET VHn [NO]MODEM	disable/enable modem control
	SET VHn [NO]HANGUP	disable/enable disconnect on DTR drop

Once the VH is attached and the simulator is running, the VH will
listen for connections on the specified port.  It assumes that the
incoming connections are Telnet connections.  The connection remains
open until disconnected by the simulated program, the Telnet client,
a SET VH DISCONNECT command, or a DETACH VH command.

The SHOW VH CONNECTIONS command displays the current connections to the VH.
The SHOW VH STATISTICS command displays statistics for active connections.
The SET VH DISCONNECT=linenumber disconnects the specified line.

The DHQ11 implements these registers, though not all can be examined
from SCP:

        name            size    comments

        CSR[0:3]        16      control/status register, boards 0..3
        RBUF[0:3]       16      receive buffer, boards 0..3
        LPR[0:3]        16      line parameter register, boards 0..3
        RXINT           4       receive interrupts, boards 3..0
        TXINT           4       transmit interrupts, boards 3..0
[more to be described...]

The DHQ11 does not support save and restore.  All open connections
are lost when the simulator shuts down or the VH is detached.

2.11 Ethernet Controllers

2.11.1 DELQA/DEQNA Qbus Ethernet Controllers (XQ, XQB)

The simulator implements two DELQA/DEQNA Qbus Ethernet controllers (XQ,
XQB).  Initially, XQ is enabled, and XQB is disabled.  Options allow
control of the MAC address, the controller mode, and the sanity timer.

	SET  XQ MAC=<mac-address>	ex. 08-00-2B-AA-BB-CC
        SHOW XQ MAC

These commands are used to change or display the MAC address.  <mac-address>
is a valid ethernet MAC, delimited by dashes or periods.  The controller
defaults to 08-00-2B-AA-BB-CC, which should be sufficient if there is
only one SIMH controller on your LAN.  Two cards with the same MAC address
will see each other's packets, resulting in a serious mess.

	SET  XQ TYPE={DEQNA|[DELQA]}
        SHOW XQ TYPE

These commands are used to change or display the controller mode. DELQA
mode is better and faster but may not be usable by older or non-DEC OS's.
Also, be aware that DEQNA mode is not supported by many modern OS's. The
DEQNA-LOCK mode of the DELQA card is emulated by setting the the controller
to DEQNA - there is no need for a separate mode.  DEQNA-LOCK mode behaves
exactly like a DEQNA, except for the operation of the VAR and MOP processing.

	SET  XQ SANITY={ON|[OFF]}
	SHOW XQ SANITY

These commands change or display the INITIALIZATION sanity timer (DEQNA
jumper W3/DELQA switch S4).  The INITIALIZATION sanity timer has a default
timeout of 4 minutes, and cannot be turned off, just reset.  The normal
sanity timer can be set by operating system software regardless of the
state of this switch.  Note that only the DEQNA (or the DELQA in DEQNA-
LOCK mode (=DEQNA)) supports the sanity timer - it is ignored by a DELQA
in Normal mode, which uses switch S4 for a different purpose.

	SET  XQ POLL={DEFAULT|4..2500}
	SHOW XQ POLL

These commands change or display the service polling timer.  The polling
timer is calibrated to run the service thread 200 times per second.  This
value can be changed to accomodate particular system requirements for
more (or less) frequent polling.

	SHOW XQ STATS

This command will display the accumulated statistics for the simulated
Ethernet controller.

To access the network, the simulated Ethernet controller must be attached
to a real Ethernet interface:

	ATTACH XQ0 {ethX|<device_name>}		ex. eth0 or /dev/era0
        SHOW XQ ETH

where X in 'ethX' is the number of the ethernet controller to attach, or
the real device name.  The X number is system dependant.  If you only have
one ethernet controller, the number will probably be 0. To find out what
your system thinks the ethernet numbers are, use the SHOW XQ ETH command.
The device list can be quite cryptic, depending on the host system, but
is probably better than guessing. If you do not attach the device, the
controller will behave as though the ethernet cable were unplugged.

XQ and XQB have the following registers:

	name		size	comments

	SA0		16	station address word 0
	SA1		16	station address word 1
	SA2		16	station address word 2
	SA3		16	station address word 3
	SA4		16	station address word 4
	SA5		16	station address word 5
	RBDL		32	receive buffer descriptor list
	XBDL		32	trans(X)mit buffer descriptor list
	CSR		16	control status register
	VAR		16	vector address register
	INT		1	interrupt request flag

One final note: because of it's asynchronous nature, the XQ controller is
not limited to the ~1.5Mbit/sec of the real DEQNA/DELQA controllers,
nor the 10Mbit/sec of a standard Ethernet.  Attach it to a Fast Ethernet
(100 Mbit/sec) card, and "Feel the Power!" :-)

2.11.2 DEUNA/DELUA Unibus Ethernet Controller (XU)

XU simulates the DEUNA/DELUA Unibus Ethernet controller.  Its operation
is analagous to the DELQA/DEQNA controller.

2.12 Symbolic Display and Input

The PDP-11 simulator implements symbolic display and input.  Display is
controlled by command line switches:

	-a			display as ASCII character
	-c			display as two character ASCII string
	-m			display instruction mnemonics

Input parsing is controlled by the first character typed in or by command
line switches:

	' or -a			ASCII character
	" or -c			two character ASCII string
	alphabetic		instruction mnemonic
	numeric			octal number

Instruction input uses standard PDP-11 assembler syntax.  There are sixteen
instruction classes:

class		operands		examples		comments

no operands	none			HALT, RESET
3b literal	literal, 0 - 7		SPL
6b literal	literal, 0 - 077	MARK
8b literal	literal, 0 - 0377	EMT, TRAP
register	register		RTS
sop		specifier		SWAB, CLR, ASL
reg-sop		register, specifier	JSR, XOR, MUL
fop		flt specifier		ABSf, NEGf
ac-fop		flt reg, flt specifier	LDf, MULf
ac-sop		flt reg, specifier	LDEXP, STEXP
ac-moded sop	flt reg, specifier	LDCif, STCfi
dop		specifier, specifier	MOV, ADD, BIC
cond branch	address			BR, BCC, BNE
sob		register, address	SOB
cc clear	cc clear instructions	CLC, CLV, CLZ, CLN	combinable
cc set		cc set instructions	SEC, SEV, SEZ, SEN	combinable

For floating point opcodes, F and D variants, and I and L variants, may be
specified regardless of the state of FPS.

The syntax for specifiers is as follows:

syntax		specifier	displacement	comments

Rn		0n		-
Fn		0n		-		only in flt reg classes
(Rn)		1n		-
@(Rn)		7n		0		equivalent to @0(Rn)
(Rn)+		2n		-
@(Rn)+		3n              -
-(Rn)		4n              -
@-(Rn)		5n              -
{+/-}d(Rn)	6n		{+/-}d
@{+/-}d(Rn)	7n		{+/-}d
#n		27		n
@#n		37		n
.+/-n		67		+/-n - 4
@.+/-n		77		+/-n - 4
{+/-}n		67		{+/-}n - PC - 4	if on disk, 37 and n
@{+/-}n		77		{+/-}n - PC - 4	if on disk, invalid
