nice work Bill, I don't get much time to tinker with simH in recent years But this info helps even the already initiated yet encumbered people I might just have to get PiDP to stay fluid with using the simH
About the Orange Pi, I'm amazed how much progress as been taken. Together with this and then the Banana Pi -- which they have a 8-core board now -- they are presenting fierce competition to the Raspberry Pi group, that is, in the hardware aspect. What the RPi group has in it's favor though is the immense documentation, and support, and then 3rd party support via their forum to promote this. You can almost say this is comparable to the TRS80/Tandy days with their high level of support. But I think since it revolves about the same OS, there's still an edge in the competition for support. Because the info is widely available on the interwebs, not just on one website as with RPi. Dan
Dan I am pretty much going to stick with Raspberry Pi and CHIPs for now. Good enough for simH and what I have been doing with them. It's getting to the point that it does not really matter to me what I use, I prefer Debian as long as I have that...but really it's all the same thing after a while. Whatever is cheapest that gets the job done. b
