VT11/GT40 Lunar Lander files preliminary README phil Phil Budne February 9, 2004 Lunar lander startup can take forever (lander uses spin loop to count down time for display of starting screen. This may be due to the fact that SIMH only tracks cycles in terms of instructions, not execution time). To speed up display of the startup screen, deposit a 1 in location 32530 after loading the lander program, and before starting it; sim> ! Set CPU to a Unibus system type sim> set cpu 11/70 sim> ! Enable DLI device so VT device autoconfigures sim> ! with a starting vector of 320 sim> set dli enable sim> set dli line=2 sim> ! Enable VT device sim> set vt enable sim> load lunar.lda sim> dep 32530 1 sim> run Lunar lander only needs a small screen area, and can run using a simulated "VR14" display, which can fit on many computer screens without scaling: sim> set vt crt=vr14 sim> set vt scale=1 For more information on the VT11/GT40 see http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/retrocomputing/dec/gt40/ lunar.txt Lunar lander instructions (from ???) lunar.lda PDP-11 Paper Tape (LDA) format http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/retrocomputing/dec/gt40/software/moonlander/lunar.lda lunar.dag PDP-11 Paper Tape (LDA) format above(?) as patched by Doug Gwyn to fix a spelling error? load fails with bad checksum under 3.2-preview2? gtlem.mac Does not match above binaries?? http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/retrocomputing/dec/gt40/software/moonlander/gtlem.mac
