Carl,
I’m planning to come to the show on the 6th. Any particular time better than some other?
Thanks

I'm anxious to see your 1130. In working for IBM during the 1130 days, I wrote the assembler, some parts of DUP, and coordinated the inclusion of RPG.

I will have my 1130 system and related objects on exhibit at the VCF West event on August 6-7.
It is a 16K 3.6us 1130 with 1132 printer, internal disk drive and 1442 card reader/punch attached.
Attached is an expansion box that implements a number of additional peripherals, including virtual 2501 reader, 1403 printer, 2310 disk drive and attachment of physical peripherals that weren't configured into my system by IBM.
I expect to also bring my full size replica 1130 system, which is not complete cosmetically but is a timing and cycle by cycle realistic 32K memory, 2.2us machine with a working console.
Will have a few bits of 1130 era technology scattered about the exhibition area as well.
Still figuring out exactly what demonstrations to provide, but with the virtual card readers and printers, people can edit card 'decks' on a PC, run them under DMS2 and look over their printout either physically on the 1132 or virtually on the virtual 1403's PC based 'paper' file.
If you are in the silicon valley area that weekend, stop by and enjoy a living breathing 1130 once again.

I use the DNA Fortran which is an upgrade of the EMU Fortran. But I don’t know how to extract it from a cartridge. If you can tell me that then I can send it to you.
BTW I can make my system available if someone can give me a place to put it.

What I sent is a timesharing system running TSO/CYTOS and DM2. So a PAUSE does not show a WAIT (the system will be in the idle loop allowing other users to continue running).
To run an instruction trace you have to use the console. Do this:
1) Put a PAUSE at the beginning of the program to be traced.
2) Run the program.
3) When it hits $PAUSE then 4 words will be printed.
4) Press ctrl/F1. That is IMM STOP and brings up the panel routine. The prompt is ‘*’.
5) Since the $PAUSE routine is an overlay then you need to restore the overplayed code. Do that by:
a. Type “+ 5 <the last number in the $PAUSE>”. That will add 5 to the address and print the result.
b. Type “G <that address> and press Enter. That gets it out of the pause. You won’t get a prompt after pressing Enter here.
c. Then press Enter again. That will bring it back to the panel routine with a ‘*’ prompt. You will see a ‘BSC L’ instruction.
d. Type ‘T’ to step. That will bring it back to your code at the instruction after the PAUSE.
6) Type ‘?’ to see the help. To run the trace type “LR <beginning address to trace> <end to trace trace>”.
7) To begin the trace type “L 1 <address to stop at>”. Once it hits the “address to stop at” it will go back into the panel routine.
8) Dump the trace by typing “L 2”.

Hmm, it is 114MB won’t go over email. So I put it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wjwmswtv297cqyx/release.rar?dl=0
There is a README.docx file. If I didn’t say so in the doc it will run on XP or DOS. If you are using something later than XP then load DOS or XP on a VM.
It supports a console plus 4 serial lines. If you run from a terminal it is most convenient because you will have a scroll back buffer. If you run from the console then you are limited to the number of lines DOS supports. When I run from a terminal I use a named pipe with VmWare.
I don’t actually use the DSM’s I’m sending for public use so I could have made a mistake someplace when preparing it. If you have any problems then send me an email.
When you bring it up it may give an error regarding the COM ports not being available. But that is the nature of a VM running a program that wants COM ports but none are available. For VmWare I just click on Ignore.

For some reason the moderator denied my message. I was only trying to help as I have been on the 1130, clones or emulators since the early 70’s. Can someone please contact the moderator and ask him to contact me and let me know why he denied it? Maybe there was just a misunderstanding.

This emulator is an IBM 1130 emulator with the addition of some 1800 instructions to allow support for TSO. The system is TSO/CYTOS which will run 31 terminals plus a console, each as an “1130” (but to go over 4 you would need a special board made by DigiBoard). The system has the capability of running dual systems via a serial cable used for coordination of locking/unlocking cartridges. The CLI is CYTOS and the timesharing option is TSO. It has DNA Fortran. Note that ‘STO L 1’ does not store into XR1,2,3. This is the nature of the 1800 and I didn’t want to break the 1800 programs (note, this is not a full 1800 but does have a similar interrupt system and programmed interrupts).
Quick start:
On XP, unzip “1830 release.rar” to an XP system.
The emulator will run from an XP prompt (cmd.exe) but runs best if the MSDOS prompt (command.com) is used.
Edit Windows\System32\Config.NT
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=40
Make a shortcut to C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com /c run.bat
Right click and select Properties:

-Working Directory = wherever 1830.exe is
Memory Tab:
-Conventional memory: auto
-Initial environment: auto
-EMS: 16384

When I originally copied the 1130 cartridges I used a program that only read the data (320 words). With my images I didn’t bother to add the extra word used to identify the sector. I can’t remember if I added the extra cylinders used in the defective cylinder table … but I don’t think I did because our defective cylinder table doesn’t show any defective cylinders. Also when I looked at one of your cartridges long ago I think you used little endian for some stuff but big endian for some other stuff. I use all big endian (that is why I said an exact image).
Eddy
Eddy Quicksall
Download the simulator and use DCIP to dump the first few sectors. When I was writing my Windows to DM2 driver I think I remember that your cartridges used little endian. I use an exact image which is all big endian.

Here is how to run an “1130” from a serial port. You will be able to scroll back but at the console you are limited by command.com:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C START "TeraTerm" /high /affinity 1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\teraterm\ttermpro.exe" \namedpipe \\.\pipe\com_1

I think it has the drivers for TSO.
Eddy Quicksall
This cartridge has the drivers for TSO. They support spooling. Spooling would require you to use the full system. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4ue1mu3wlf1te3u/1830%20release.rar?dl=0
If you run the full system the printer output will go to a spooling queue then to the printer. If the queue is empty then it has already posted to P1132.OUT. But the emulator doesn’t flush the DOS files until you exit. The .cfg file tells where to send the printer output. The 1132 output goes to P1130.OUT which should get allocated in the folder where the emulator runs from. The 1403 goes to LPT1 (see 1830.cfg).
The card reader uses input spooling and I never added that driver to the system since my customer doesn’t have one. With input spooling all we did was to stick our deck of cards into the reader and it would take off all by itself and read into the queue.

When I extracted the cartridge someone had made a request to get the EMU compiler. I replied saying I did not know how to get the compiler off of my cartridge. So he said just send a copy of the cartridge. I figured he had a program to extract the compiler. So I sent a cartridge from my system which uses TSO to run DM2. That cartridge has a few TSO drivers and the TSO resident image … I didn’t expect that someone would try to run it. My system has 512 cartridges and I just blindly extracted ID 2202.
Do you have a way to extract the compiler? If so then you could download the full system and run your extraction program.

Brian was trying to mount a cartridge I sent containing EMU Fortran. Note that the drivers have been replaced with TSO drivers to support timesharing so don’t try to boot to it (however you should be able to mount it). I have attached the cartridge that Brian sent to me.
Since Brian is going on “vacation” (a.k.a work) does anyone see the problem he noticed in the LET format (see his comment below). I have looked and don’t see a problem. Also TSO has been running since the early 70’s and my emulator knows nothing about the disk layout and it has been running in production since the mid 90’s. DNA had about 100 customers who ran their own 1130 programs with TSO and I have several LET/FLET programs that came from the original 1130 (DUP, XDUP, let/flet searches, etc) and there is never been a failure or complaint.
Note also that my cartridges are big endian and don’t contain the sector address which precedes each sector. Brian made those changes so he could mount it and I think the changes are in the zip file attached.
Regarding the EMU compiler. If someone has a program that will extract the phases then send it to me and I’ll try it myself.

Word swap fixed it.
Eddy's disk image, attached, has Cobol and Fortran on it.
[Eddy] Because this has the TSO drivers to support timesharing.
When I boot it, though, it doesn't read cards or print anything, on either a 1403 or 1132 printer.

Thanks for getting back with me.
I would like to setup a TCP/IP connection to my 1130 running TSO/CYTOS if anyone would be interested in playing with it.
TSO supports 32 remote 1130’s. But I’m having trouble with VmWare and can only get VmWare to recognize 2 serial ports. CYTOS is a CLI for DM2.
Please let me know.

I’m using VMware Workstation 12 Player (the free one). I have had this problem with older VMware’s too (the paid versions). Here is what I sent to a friend at VMware (however he has not gotten back with me yet). It gives some detail of my problem.
Hi Mike
Are you still working at VmWare? If so I have a problem described below. I can’t get any help on the forums and was hoping you knew someone that could help. I have had this problem on all versions of the Workstation so it must be that I don’t understand something.
I am using XP under VM Ware Player using Windows 10. I run a DOS program under XP. The program uses 4 serial ports. If I use DEBUG from a command.com prompt, I can see that 4 ports exist at 40:0 (COM1=3F8, COM2=2F8, COM3=3E8, COM4=2E8). So I shut down XP and configured the settings with 4 serial ports, each with a named pipe. The pipe names are \\.pipe\com_1, 2, 3 and 4. For the Named Pipe dialog I have set it to "This end is the server" and "The other end is an application". And "connect at power on".
But when I run the program I get a popup that says "The system cannot open COM3 port requested by the application". Then if I click Ignore it gives the same message except for COM4. Note that COM1 and 2 work just fine via the named pipe. And my program works on a real DOS using COM1,2,3,4.
I had this problem with earlier versions of VmWare but always thought it was a bug in VmWare. So I updated to the latest Player and get the same problem, now I think there is something I don't understand.
Note: When I click on the Serial Port settings I see a message that says "Virtual printers must be enabled in the preferences". I don't know why because I'm not using a printer but I enabled it anyway. I get the same problem.
Here are my settings (note that the actual port number is not 1 to 1 with the name I gave the pipe):

don't see any way to add /more/ com devices, howevver.
My PC (win10) actually has 5 physical com ports, one on the motherboard,
and 4 on a pci-express card (I needed extra ports to run a eprom
programmer, weather station, and another data collector a year ago, not
using them anymore but the card is still plugged in).

You won’t see a problem if you don’t try to access the ports. Try using DEBUG and try some I/O on 3E8+.
Note that COM1,2 work just fine. If I boot to a real DOS all 4 ports work just fine so I can’t blame my emulator. Also the emulator is running 16 ports on a real DOS at my client’s site.
Here are my options. I don’t see a printer.
Here is the message I get. Note that it has already accepted COM1 and 2. It is COM3 and 4 that gives the problem.
Here I went to DOS to check the COM ports. Notice that DOS thinks all 4 ports are there:
