| 02:35 | If you call simh.os8_send_ctrl('e'), the object now marks itself as "in SIMH context". This supports legacy uses of the class where transitions had to be done manually. check-in: c507e7ba49 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:30 | In two places, class simh was sending the same command to SIMH then calling parse_show_tti() on the result. Moved the command call into that function and renamed it get_tti(). check-in: fb6100a681 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:11 | Comment and whitespace improvements to lib/simh.py check-in: 712ce17691 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:40 | Simplified the check for SIMH commands that transition from SIMH context back to simulation context: it was listing all of the possibilities exhaustively, except only in lowercase. Neither is required: we can list only the first letter in uppercase, then slice the first letter off of the command and uppercase it before searching this list. This is both faster and more reliable. Also moved the related constants from per-instance to per-class. check-in: b54ebf922c user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 23:33 | Added a describe_dev_config routine, and tried out cleaner approach to parsing _child.after. TODO: Update the existing code to use the cleaner approach. The testing routine tests everything now. check-in: 79b7a7bd9d user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:43 | Change between KSR and 7b implemented and tested. check-in: b6403b276e user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:12 | Corrected comment on parse_show_rx_dev check-in: b9e53704f7 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:00 | Silence one bit of verbosity -- the rx detaches. check-in: 8f8cb98765 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:59 | Change for rx01/rx02 is done. TODO: ksr/7bit change. Also: Ponder if this stuff is being too verbose. check-in: 0e4f9c3777 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 18:42 | do_tape_change is fully fleshed out. mkos8 testing is the driver to test it. TODO: Repeat for RX01/RX02 and ksr/7bit check-in: 692b0368ee user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 06:22 | Snapshot: Beginnings of routines to change configs in simh Swapping td/dt DECtape devices; rx01/rx02 devices; ksr/7bit console. Currently just inventories what's attached to dt/td devices. TODO: Finish the swapping code: Detach what's attached and send the config change. Then fill in the stubs for RX and console device work. check-in: d2167af791 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:27 | Cleaned up external use of simh_context. The housekeeping boiled down to three locations: 1. Initialize to simh. 2. back_to_cmd sets simh. 3. The clever part: in send_cmd, look to see if the command being executed enters the OS, and if so set context "os8". TODO: RE-test os8-cp and all legacy mkos8 commands to make sure I didn't break anything. Then remove the context commands. The rule now is: Returning to simh leaves you in the simh context until you issue a boot, continue, or go command. check-in: 7b0047d2cc user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 05:22 | Ok, this is a bit gross. tc08.mkos8 now understands the td12k option, but it was a pain to get there. I had to create a simh command because we needed to disable dt and enable td. This also runs BUILD on os8v3d-patched.rk05 to switch from TC08 to TD8E drivers. It is very gross, but it does clean up after itself. (If it makes it all the way through.) This exploration has let me to believe that we might very well want to craft this as python code to, "Switch SIMH from DT to TD" and "Switch SIMH from RX01 to RX02". It is a mess of abstraction barrier violations to try and do it cleanly. So what we have now is a proof of concept. An icky one. check-in: 966fb1026b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:53 | Yup I had broken absldr. (Forgot to delete legacy code.) Fixed now and tested. check-in: 5998f944de user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 19:36 | Improved approach to option handling. No longer requires custom logic in every sub-command. Also consolidates parsing of comments into a common module. TODO: Test creating a TD12K system with TC08 turned off. TODO: Re-test v3f to make sure I didn't break the absldr sub-command. check-in: e67f63046a user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 06:30 | Taught mkos8 a new run command: Options. Now, before the mkos8 command arg, you can have options, for example "tc08". In the script file you enclose options in begin option foo end foo If the command line argument specifies -o foo, the lines are used. If not, they are ignored. Optional blocks can appear in commands with their own command processors, and can be nested. In this way a single command file can be used with variations on the same theme depending on which option is enabled. check-in: 10848363e5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 04:35 | Deleting the last of the OS/8 v3f files from their old home. check-in: cf3f0afe80 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:33 | Bringing the updated versions in to their new home: Amendments to os8-v3f sources to get them to build properly, and to clean up newlines as documented in README.md. check-in: e7f3f5c8a9 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:27 | Re-checking in original versions in new home. check-in: 70422a41be user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:21 | This file should never have been checked in. It was a built artifact, not baseline truth source. check-in: ed42b06197 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:20 | First step of moving os8-v3f to a os8/v3f. Move everything with no history. check-in: 3295f96998 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
