QEMU networking test...

Well I know this is insane, but I'm going to be moving internet connections soon so I feel brave enough to post this...

I just setup qemu 0.9.0 with my pcap patches & the busmouse patches that I've found.  It's running apache (I shut down sendmail)

click & check it out!

Now I just need to change the default page....

Also the VNC aspect of qemu is quite nice for controlling this thing.. Just have your OS installed first...

I suppose if you used physical media, you could use the vnc2swf programs and make a video of the installation... But I don't think anyone would care about that...

I've put the developer & EOF on it, plus apache 1.3 & some other nonsense...

Thoughts?

cool, it works :P

Also, nice domain... ;)

Yes much to my amazement it's still running.. Somewhere someone made fun of my pcap patch to qemu... But it works!!!  Even though I've commented out stuff until it compiled... But I'll admit I ripped it from simh.

Yeah I've planned on doing something with simh & whatnot.. I used to keep a copy on the outside but Apache never quite built on stock BSD4.3...  But it runs fine on NeXTSTEP... Go figure when both are 4.3's.

I was thinking something along the lines of Anonet (http://anonet.org/) but less paranoid.  I've gotten qemu & simh to do file/IO networking so I can now easily replace the network transport but I was thinking of a good method...  I've done UDP, IRC..

Udp is nice since I can compress & crypt it, but it needs someone to setup rules if it's natting.  IRC doesn't need any nat, but the central server gets all the traffic (not cool)...  

Then again would people care about a 'dark' retro internet?

I just updated the page somewhat, but it'll be interesting to see how much uptime I can keep on it.. Although I'm tempted to back it up again..

wait, simh runs on nextstep 3.3?

oh my... I must compile. Have any precompiled binaries? :P I want to install OpenVMS 7... :)

Let me dig about I'll see what I can come up with... !

oh, I misread you. You said Apache built correctly. I thought you meant simh and i got all excited... :)

Pretty cool what you have running though!

I'll mess with the simh source later and see if I can get it to compile on NS3.3

a whlie ago I actually got an old verison of SIMH to run on my cube.. it was *SLOW*.. I think it took 5 minutes for the microvax to do it's POST...  

I'm starting to tackle the source now... What platforms would you want it on?

IE should I re-install the dev tools for 68k?  Although I suspect it would be kind of pointles....... :)

Well, i was going to run it on my turbo slab... if for just novelty factor.

Someone needs to make a 68k 'cpu core' for simh that makes 68k commands run completely native on a 68k based machine. like qemus linux plugin for x86 stuff.

be nice :)

NEXTSTEP 3.3, MacOS 7.x.x, some form of DOS, and OpenVMS all running side by side on a NeXT :P

Oh, and I need to get UAE working again. :]

I've just got to hunt down some ioctl stuff and I think I'll have the vax780 built on the i386 ....

I'll post more as I get there...

But in the meantime you'll *NEED* gnumake.  I'm using 37-2.

I suppose gcc 2.7.2.3 wouldn't hurt either but I'm going to try with 2.5.8 sp2.

well it compiled (the 780)

download it from here!

So it looks ok to me!  Since I've used the default 'cc' it ought to work on SUN/HP/68K

The disk IO is *SLOW*.  It's taking simply forever for this thing to boot.  So yes it appears to work.  No it's not terribly usefull... :)

Ok I'll start a thread in the software section!.. :)

Anyways I loaded this on my 'white' box (the disk is dying...!) but anyways it is SIGNIFIGANTLY faster.

CFLAGS=-O2 -m486 -pipe -DVM_VAX -DVAX_780 -DNO_vsnprintf -I. -I VAX -I PDP11

I stripped out the 64 bit stuff, since NeXTSTEP 3.3 isn't 64bit by any stretch (hello 2 gig filesystems!)

me & a friend are playing hack & wump on it, and it doesn't feel like it's running a 100 load and we are connected at 300 baud...
