The old name still works as an alias but who knows how long that will last, so please update your mirror Wayne! I'm sorry there hasn't been an update to E11 in quite a while, I'm working hard on getting the V2.0 beta release done as soon as possible. It includes emulation of several flavors of magtape, several new disks, and adds 11/24, /44, /70, and /94 CPU types (using a limited 384KB 22-bit MMU), plus the dual video display feature now works correctly. There are a bunch of loose ends to tie up before it's ready though (major parts have been rewritten), and I've got some gizmos planned that I'd like to add if it doesn't take too long. Performance on a midrange Pentium is roughly equal to the 11/94, a bit more or a bit less depending on what you're doing. As soon as the V2.0 beta is done I'll be working on cranking out the full-blown commercial version ASAP, >2 years of "beta" is just too long. It will have 4MB memory, big disks, serial muxes, and support for some kind of bus adapter for real PDP-11 hardware, either the Bit3 PCI-to-Q22 board set or something custom (I can't find any emulation-capable Unibus adapters, and adding the cost of an Able Microverter to the already high Bit3 price is way too much, besides being kludgey). Something like the V2.0 beta (or better) will still be available indefinitely for free home use and as a demo for the "big" version. John Wilson D BIT
