Roberto has been helping me out with the setup of auto install procedures for installing various operation systems on IBM360 simulator. These are very helpful to me since they allow for efficient testing of changes to the simulator. They also provide good documentation on how to setup and install these systems. I have similar systems set of for my PDP10 and IBM 7090 and B5500 simulators. I also try and install the generally useful software onto the systems. This also documents how to install these packages. While the turnkey kits are nice, it is hard to know what PTF's and other things are installed. Also it is difficult to change things to suite your needs. SimH based simulator for IBM360 provides emulation for both IBM360 and IBM370 systems. It is very configurable compared to Hercules. It can simulate a 360 with 16K of memory up to a 370 with 16MB of memory. It can also simulate a 360/67 that can run early versions of MTS. It is targeted toward small systems compared to Hercules which more geared towards larger systems. SimH can use uncompressed CKD Hercules disks. However it does not allow for the infinite configuration that Hercules does some systems do not work since they define too large a machine. Currently SimH IBM360 will run BOS/TOS/DOS/OS/360. VM/370, MTS. MVS has some issues that I am unable to figure out. Rich It would appear that your link editor requires a change or perhaps --
