[Info-vax] Use SimH/VAX to boot infoserver software?

[Timothy Stark]

SIMH do not have MicroVAX 3100 emulator yet.  Is that possible to implement it easily since it is based on MicroVAX 2000 series. 
Also it need a copy of KA41 firmware image to implement. 

I was looking for MicroVAX 3100 technical manuals to implement but can't find them. I only have a copy of MicroVAX/VAXstation 2000 technical manual.
Is that MicroVAX 3100 architecture compatible with MicroVAX 2000 architecture?

Thanks,
Tim

The emulation would prolly have to be configured to pretend to be a MicroVAX 3100 box.

The InfoServer 100 series box was based on a MicroVAX 3100 Model 20 series box.0

With that emulation configured, the following boot command should be enough:

Not here.

No reason to, either.

The host-based InfoServer support on OpenVMS I64 V8.2-1 and later, OpenVMS Alpha V8.3 and later had fixed a couple of issues with the older InfoServer software.
