developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Collection.
P11 is a PDP11 emulator, which currently emulates the following configuration:
- a KDJ11A processor (including fpp)
- one or more RL-controllers (RLV12) with up to 4 RL02 each
- one or more RHV?? controllers with up to 8 RP06 each
- an RK11-controller with 22-bit addressing (hey ever saw one?)
- a MRV12 option (boot-rom/maintenance and display register)
- one or more KL11A controllers with up to 4 serial lines each
- a standard printer interface
- a read only TM11 tape
- a DEQNA ethernet adapter
- a toy clock
On a 900MHz Athlon under FreeBSD 5.0 a 'make build; make installsrc' of
2.11BSD takes around 2:24 hours - this is several times faster than
a real KDJ11A (if /usr is mounted async,noaccesstime).
Floating point speed is in the order of 10 times the original.
P11 successfully runs RSX11M-PLUS, UN*X Version 5/6/7, 2.11BSD, RT-4 and XXDP.
