====== TYMCOM-X Startup ======

Part of the [[tymcom-x|TYMCOM-X]] project.  See also the [[tymcom-x-status|Status]] page.

===== Initial set up =====

See [[tymcom-x-simh|SIMH Setup]] page for 
  - setting up the TOPS-10 environment
  - getting the TYMCOM-X sources to it.


It is assumed that the TOPS-10 emulator is left up and running.  See the Setup page if you need to restart it.



===== Building a new monitor from sources =====

=== Do this on the emulated TOPS-10 system ===
  .login public/path:[,,m33]
  .teco filename.mac
  .rename filename.org=filename.bak   ; If this is the first edit to filename.mac
  .r filcom
  *=filename.org,filename.mac
  *^C
  .do mon14.mic
  
When mon14.mic is complete (28 seconds), switch to window logged in as [1,2]

  OPR>^C
  .copy sys=[42,42,m33]mon14.exe
  .r opr
  OPR> set ksys +0:01
  ;;SYSTEM: - Timesharing is over!
  OPR> ^C
  .r filddt
  File: /m/p
  30[ 1
  Control-E
  sim> exit

===== Create tym-*.ini files =====

==== tym-fresh.ini for "fresh" disks ====

  Linux% cat x14-fresh.ini 
  ; SIMH Configuration for TYMCOM-X, refresh needed
  ; Get sys:mon14.exe onto 1st disk
  copy dskb.dsk x14a.dsk
  copy dskc.dsk x14b.dsk
  ; These two units now need initializing, DEFINE and REFRESH
  attach rp0 x14a.dsk
  attach rp1 x14b.dsk
  ; Tape with TITO.SAV (in simh format)
  attach tu0 tito.tape
  expect "BOOT>" send "mon14/start:141\r"; GO
  expect "EDDT" send "ctysim\e: ctybrk\eb ctydo[1\r dzdo[0\r 140\eg"; GO
  expect "BAT pages on this UNIT?" send "y\ry\r"; GO
  expect "BAT pages on this UNIT?" send "y\ry\r"; GO
  expect "FILES*" send "define\ry\r"; GO
  expect "physical units in STR" send "rma0\rrma1\r\r"; GO
  expect "NEW ID NEEDED" send "dskb00\r"; GO
  expect "NEW ID NEEDED" send "dskb01\r"; GO
  expect "FILES*" send "refresh\ry\r"; GO
  ; Must use date from 28 years ago, current HHMM
  expect "MM-DD-YYYY" send "04-05-1990\r"; GO
  set cpu tops10
  set cpu idle
  boot rp

Note: TYMCOM-X has a severe Y2K8 problem; it does not handle dates after November 8th, 2008.  Use a date 28 years in the past to get the day-of-week correct.  1989 instead of 2017, 1990 instead of 2018, etc.
==== tym-dz11.ini for testing ====

Same as ''tym-fresh.ini'', but add two ''dz'' entries and change EDDT.

  set dz 8b
  attach -am dz
  expect "BOOT>" send "mon14/start:141\r"; GO
  expect "EDDT" send "dzkon\e: dzbrk\eb ctydo[0\r dzdo[1\r 140\eg"; GO

==== tym-prod.ini for production ====

  Linux% cat tym-fresh.ini
  ; SIMH Configuration for TYMCOM-X, production
  attach rp0 x14a.dsk
  attach rp1 x14b.dsk
  ; Tape with TITO.SAV
  attach tu0 tito.tape
  set tim y2k
  expect "BOOT>" send "mon14/start:141\r"; GO
  expect "EDDT" send "ctybrk\eb dzbrk\e 140\eg"; GO
  boot rp

===== Start up TYMCOM-X =====

==== Using fresh disks ====

Do this every time that SYS:MON14.EXE is updated.
