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

Install the OS into the virtual hard disc executing the executing the command below. The installation process is divided in the following steps:
- Load the guest for the first time. Few files will be created. The system will request the language interface for LOM
- Boot the system from the tape and identify the root partition on the destination disk
-
Reboot the system from the in-disk root partition and instal the OS from the tape
- Set the system date and time-zone. ULTRIX 4.0 was built without Y2K support. Any year after 1999 will revert to 1970.
- Set the system Time Zone
-
Set-up the disk layout. Use the following partition layout:
a: /
b: swap and crash
g: usr
h: var - Install software packages
- Re-boot system for clean-up
- Initial run
./microvax3900-4.1 sys0070.ini

Full guest configuration
With this configuration, the guest can support up to 16 RA90 disk devices (16 x 1.2GB of data).Until now I only managed to make the first controller extra discs to be identified by ULTRIX. SimH MicroVAX 3900 shows the extra controllers but ULTRIX cannot see them.
