[Simh] Release of a set of simulators for IBM 7000 series mainframes.

[Richard Cornwell]

I am pleased to announce the release of a set of simulators for IBM
7000 series mainframes. This includes simulators for the IBM 701, IBM
702, IBM 704, IBM 705, IBM 705/3, IBM 709, IBM 1410/IBM 7010, IBM 7070,
IBM 7080, IBM 7090 and IBM7094. These are available from the Computer
History Simulation Project (SIMH) site:

https://github.com/simh/simh

Software for these simulators can be found at:

http://sky-visions.com/ibm

Currently there is the following available:

IBM 705: Some stand alone programs.
IBM 7080: Diagnostics.
IBM 1410/7010: PR 155 & PR108.
IBM 704: SAP (assembler) and soon Fortran II.
IBM 709: Lisp 1.5, 9AP (assembler), Diagnostics
IBM 7090/7094: IBSYS and CTSS.

CTSS sources and binaries are available at:

https://github.com/rcornwell/ctss

I am still working on an automatic rebuild of CTSS using IBSYS to build the
basic binaries. However prebuild disk images are available.

These simulators have been developed over many years and I have way too many
people to thank for the help that they have given in testing and recovery
of software. Some of these simulators are more stable then others, the more
software that I have to test them the more stable they are. The IBM 701 and
IBM 7070 are fairly untested since there is almost no software for either
of these machines. These machines all shared a common set of I/O devices so
it made sense to implement them as a collection.

I plan to add in a IBM 7030 simulator after I finish transcribing and proofing
the diagnostics and MCP and write a assembler for the machine.

I would also like to do a 7040/4 if anyone can find a copy of either IBSYS
or DCSYS for it.

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for the effort involved in doing this.
This will be a great contribution to preserving computer history.

Congratulations on finishing this work!

[SPC]

My sincere congratulations, Richard. I've keeping track of from time to
time on your website your continuous effort with these simulators and I've
even trying some of them. The Simulation of Historical Computing Systems is
what it is thanks to the efforts of people like you.

I'd like to extend this comment to other developers of simulated systems
(and contributors) linked to this list that have provide additions to SIMH
from time to time. Between fifteen and twenty years ago I had my first
contact with this and the advances from this date to now are impressive.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Gracias | Regards - Saludos | Greetings | Freundliche GrÌße | Salutations

Rich,

Good job! Also I am looking toward to future IBM 360, 370, 390, z900
series and 650 emulators.

series and 650 emulators.

I have a 360 in the works, however it does not want to run DOS/360 or
OS/360. Anyone caring to help debug, let me know. Not sure if I will
add in support for the 370. I would like to do a 67 mod, especially
if I can find a copy of CP/67 or CP/40 or TSS/360. Right now only
MTS prior to version 3 or 4 supports the 67. Not going beyond a 370
though. I might do a 650 simulator, since that is basically a
modification to my 7070 simulator. For a 390 and above there is
Hercules which does a real good job.

There are VM/370 and MVS 3.8j dist available on Internet for IBM 370 system.

I am working on MP facility on my MSE emulator to handle multi-processor
systems. I successfully created and execute thread process for additional
CPU process, I/O devices, and front-end processors.

Hi Tim,

I can only find the TSS/370 dist on the Hercules sites. I looked at
the source and it only supports a 370, not a 360/67. If you know of
a 360/67 version of this let me know.

Yes I know, however the only compilers are for OS/360. There is also
DOSVS/370, OS/VS1 available.

Hercules is a very good simulator for a 390, it sort of does a 370,
but does not simulate a 360. It also does all I/O instantly, rather
then over time like a real 360 would. Also it can only set memory to
I think 2Mb min. My 360 will go from 16k to 4M (16M if you want). I
am not trying to replace Hercules, rather do something different.

I've been following this. Will be interesting to see what comes out
of it.

Hello!
There's already a very capable emulator for the IBM S/360 and IBM
S/370 and possibly the Z900 series members. That is the Hercules-390
one. And it will do practically everything expected, it will run the
VM/370 ones and the DOS/360 also the ones you're thinking of.

In fact at one point it was rated to run the legally available OSes
for the Flexes job faster. (Which demolished the fellow behind it.)
