Sweet!  And just in time for me to reload my Qube2 so it runs Simh a

cool, I wanted to do this but assumed it the qube2 couldn't take it as it cause 100% CPU utilisation on my core2 macbook pro emulating a vax with bsd 4.3.
Setting the idle detection on didnt help.

It hits at least 80% most of the time. Didn't say it was fast just that it worked. :-)

More ram will likely help it respond quicker but probably not help the CPU problem. One thing I've been trying to deal with though is I get DUP packets on the PCI network card I've dedicated to simh. The system is an old NetBSD 4.0 box with a custom kernel so I'm hoping that it's just an issue with building simh using old libraries or something.
