NOTICE
I am continually working to improve the approach for virtual machines. Check the most recent post to have an idea on how things are changing. Also, please, leave a comment when you find something that need to be improved.
Introduction
ULTRIX-11 was the version of ULTRIX for DEC PDP-11 based computers. The PDP-11 line has few models with different CPUs, internal communication bus, etc. These instructions were made for a PDP-11/83 guest.

Preparation
-
Windows 10 + cygwin
- Install Cygwin with b2zip (or 7z), uudecode, wget
-
macOS
- Install brew
-
Install additional tools. uudecode is installed with macOS already.
brew install wget p7zip
-
Linux
-
Install additional tools. uudecode is installed with Linux already.
sudo dnf install -y wget p7zip
-
Install additional tools. uudecode is installed with Linux already.
- FOR ALL OSes: Create all the start-up scripts as per the section at the bottom of this page.
-
Windows 10 + cygwin
-
Execute the guest initialization script. This script will download SimH and build the necessary simulator

After booting, the setup program begins the initial setup dialogue. Before loading can begin, you need to answer some questions about your system's configuration. Enter your answer, using only lowercase characters, then press <RETURN>. If you need help answering any of the questions, enter a ? then press <RETURN>. To correct typing mistakes press the <DELETE> key to erase a single character or <CTRL/U> to erase the entire line. Press <RETURN> to continue:
-
Provide information for the initial ULTRIX-11 bootstrap set-up.
- Confirm the system is running PDP-11/83.
- Provide the disk model: RD54. This will be asked twice. Be careful to provide the same disk model.
- You can scan or not the virtual disk :)
- Indicate that the install unit is 0. This translate to RQ0 for SimH. You can still ULTRIX-11 on a different disk...
- For some reason, the tape image is not ok and a "hard" halt is necessary after ULTRIX-11 is bootstrapped to you guest system disk. You will need to press CTRL+E and execute the next boot manually.
