Subject: Mensaje privado sobre: 1130 simulator with TSO/CYTOS
Hi, Eddy. Is there any way to download a fresh copy of your GE 18/30 (TSO/CYTOS) emulator? I am making a kind of reorganization of all my emulation and simulation stuff and I can't locate the copy of TSO/CYTOS from 2015.
Kind Regards
Sergio Pedraja

I want to volunteer my 1130 emulator. It has TSO and CYTOS. It has been in use since 1995 in a production environment. It supports up to 15 virtual 1130's over async terminals and one virtual 1130 on the console. It supports dual CPUs each sharing the same cartridges. It supports 1024 cartridges, 32K words per virtual 1130 with 32K words of auxiliary core for the TSO time-sharing kernel. It supports the 1132, 1403, 1442, and mag tape (the printers and reader are simulated but the mag tape requires a physical tape drive). The printer output is spooled. It is designed for MSDOS. I run it on Windows by using VmWare to run MSDOS.
TSO is a Time-Sharing Option for DM2. CYTOS is a CLI for DM2 with a built in source editor.
I am currently writing a Windows file system driver to access the files from Windows programs. I would like to make that driver work with the emulator already on this site, if someone can tell me the format of the emulated cartridges.

It is intended to run on 16 bit DOS.
I used Borland’s C and assembler. I have heard that there is a newer version of the Borland system. You could try loading that and re-build it. Currently I’m having trouble activating XP where I use DOS to build it.

In that case will it work in DOSBOX? I haven’t tried any real work but I get as far as a user prompt.

It should. But DOSBOX would have to emulate the serial chip exactly because I directly address that chip. I also directly address other chips but they are simple chips (like the 8259). Also I use EMS and XMS memory extensions (as mentioned in the doc).
If you get it working on DOSBOX then I would be interested in the setup.

Eddy,
Since DOSBOX is designed for running games I would expect it to be a good emulator of serial ports, EMS and XMS memory

Bob,
Either of those should work but they are a bigger footprint and perhaps a little more complex to install. They also need the virtualization extensions enabled on the CPU.

BTW, I have a DOS 6.22 VM that I can make a player out of. Is that sufficient? Or does it need another OS?
Here are some notes of how I set it up for VmWare. As you can see I use a named pipe which allows me to run Windows10 with VmWare (the VmWare runs XP which runs 1830.exe and I use Windows 10 as if it were a terminal). I usually use Com1 for a serial terminal and com2 for a named pipe). Windows is where I keep all of my source so that my normal backups capture the emulated DSMs. I Visual Studio and setup a button to transfer the files from Windows to 1830.exe. If you want to do that just let me know and I’ll give you the macro that I setup.
On VMWare XP:
- Setup a shortcut to DOS and configure as follows:
Right click the desktop/New/shortcut/C:\Windows\system32\command.com
Cmd Line = C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com /c run.bat /s0400
Working = e:\
Expanded Memory (EMS) = 16384
Extended Memory (XMS) = 16384
- setup VmWare for \\.\pipe\com_2 on com2
Shared Folders = Always Enabled
Map as network drive
1830 W:\Dropbox\DSI (His)\1830
W W:\
- drives should look like this (but I'm not sure how Z got setup, maybe by hand):
E: \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\1830
W: \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\W
Z: \\vmware-host\Shared Folders
- setup serial via Device Manager->Ports->USB Serial Port (COM1)
- Use TeraTerm:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\teraterm\ttermpro.exe" \namedpipe \\.\pipe\com_2 for area 2
Setup/Terminal 135 X 53
Setup/Serial Port/COM3, 57600, 7E1
On VmWare, ctrl/d, serial port: com1, click "connected"
- Build 1830 with "MTCA_USE_COM2 equ -1" in emul.asm

I wrote the emulator in the mid 90’s so the age of the CPU should not be a problem. My customer runs it on a very old pure DOS system with 16 external users.

DOS 6.22 is perfect. That is what my customer uses but and he does a DOS boot.

Below the reason you see E, W and Z on the Widows side is because that allows the Windows side to access the DSMs and so the VmWare/XP side to get/put files to the Windows side.

Eddy,
The issue is not the emulated CPU but that some older CPUs don’t support the AMD Virtual Extensions and won’t run VMWARE player.

I wrote a Windows file system driver that allows the Windows side to access the DSMs. I made the icon so it would show which “folders” were the 1830 DSMs. I wrote it using the Dokan library. I found that the Dokan library has a bug when operating in overlap and never ran it down. If anyone knows how to write a Windows file system driver and wants to try to debug it then I can make my code available.

The file system driver is not necessary to run the emulator. It is simply a driver that runs on Windows and adds DSMs as if they are folders. As I said below it does have a bug but works about half of the time.

It would be easy to make the DSM driver work with Brian’s DSMs. The difference between mine and his is that my emulation of the disk does not have the sector address before the sector.
I also noticed that Dokan has fixed bugs in the latest Dokan library. Since I don’t supply the library in my “DSM File System Driver.rar” then you will be getting the latest Dokan.lib from the internet and that may give a better result.
Soon I will put the source of the TSO executive out there.

I added the Aux Core Monitor (a.k.a TSO Executive) to TPM4.RAR. at Quicksall.com/1830. Most people would probably be most interested in the disk routine. It is called BULKN. Search for “ BULKN” to find the entry point.
