Yes, I haven't submitted my large memory changes back to David in an easily usable format, so his master version does not include them thus you're limited to 1MW of memory like an original Series III. I plan to update my distribution to include David's latest changes and will see if I can come up with a patch for him to look at while I do that.

It seems the simulator no longer includes Gavin's enhancements.
I put the new HP3000 simulator in place and received.
C:\HP3000\My Series III>hp3000 startup

HP 3000 simulator V3.11-2 Release 9
startup> set CPU 4096K,CIS,IDLE=10
Non-existent parameter
sim> quit
Goodbye
Log file closed
Did anyone else get this?
Thanks

I gather you're referring to the Windows binary.  I've never tried WINE (and have no way of trying it), so I don't know.  There is relatively little platform-specific code in the simulator -- a bit dealing with Telnet connections, a bit dealing with serial ports, and a bit to get better timer resolution.  The large majority of the external calls are to the standard C library.

That said, the source should compile easily on a variety of platforms (Linux, FreeBSD, macOS) using gcc or clang.  No third-party libraries are used, so compilation should be just a matter of unpacking and making as described in Section 1.1. of the included "SIMH Users' Guide Supplement."
