Would you add support for HP 9000 series 700?

[aca18d]

Hello,

I'd like to run a virtual HP 9000 model 712/60 on Mame.

I own a physical machine of that model and wonder how long it can last.

I've found some firmware on the following page:

http://ftp.parisc-linux.org/firmware/712/

and wonder if that may be useful.

Further HP firmware are available on that site.

Please let me know, many thanks.

Hey not sure about Mame support, but QEMU supports the 715, which should be pretty close to the 712.

What OS are you trying to run?

Hi Keith, I'm interested in running HPUX 9.05. Please let me know if it is now possible, some years ago it wasn't.

9.05 is a tall order, I think. I'm playing around with it now to see if there's any quick fixes to enable it in QEMU. 10.20 works with my qemu-hppa fork since I added a working LASI SCSI controller for it. Since the processor type isn't even supported with MAME, it's likely pretty OT now. Feel free to follow up with me directly. keith at techtravels org.

Thanks rb6502 for chiming in.

MAME does not yet support PA-RISC. We have just improved the support for the M68K 9000/3xx but that's as far as it goes right now.

Many thanks, I'll do.

Hpux 9.05 isn't supported under qemu. So I forked it, determined the half dozen reasons why not, and fixed them. This solution relies on my SCSI controller rewrite, which also needed a further modification to fully work.

https://github.com/keithgh1/hpux905-qemu

I'm considering it extremely "engineering quality" but it does seem to work. I have a screenshot up in the repo, which came straight from the VM. I provided a docker container which eases the need to stand up a complete toolchain etc.

Please let me know if anyone tries it and the results.

Hi Keith, I'm so grateful for your work. I'll try it as soon as possible and let you know. Unfortunately it won't be in this period since I'm a bit busy, but I'm eager to do that.

Hi Keith, I've tried to build the package without Docker since I used to do that the old way. I get an error: it doesn't find the virtio_config.h and the libvduse as well. Please take your time and let me know where I'm mistaken. Many thanks.
