Bob Supnik Emulator and V6 - TUHS

31 Dec 1998

Hi, I am very new to the Old Editions of Unix and PDP. I got licensed
recently, and I have been using the Binary Distrubutions of V6 and V7.

I am having trouble unpacking the v6.tape on Bob Supnik's Emulator. 

In the v6 installation guide it says to key in the

012700
172526
010040
012740
060003
000777

Using the Emulator, I deposit the instructions into 100000.

I attach the Tape and Disk using this:
...
  att tm0 v6.tape
 att rk0 v6root 
I then run the instructions:
...
  run 100000 
The Computer hangs, I break out of it. Then I type:
...
  boot tm0 
It gives me a `=` prompt..

The Installation guide tells me to type:
...
  tmrk. 
The emulator just freezes after this.

This may sound like a easy question, but I am very new to this.

Any help or pointers on getting UNIX V6 up and running on my Emulator
would be very helpful.

Thanks.

 Thanks. 
Right at the bottom of the simh_doc.txt file, there are instructions
on how to boot the v6 image which comes with Bob Supnik's emulator.
That is the easiest way to get v6 up and running!

Cheers,
