Running OSF/1 under gxemul
---------------------------
gxemul is a machine simulator http://gavare.se/gxemul/ that can simulate
a number of machines. We will be concerned here with the early alpha version
of OSF/1.
DEC's first release of OSF/1 (OSF/1 Release 1.0) in January 1992 was for its
line of MIPS-based DECstation workstations,[2] however this was never a fully supported product.
I have tested and compiled gxemul via pkgsrc framework
https://www.pkgsrc.org/
Pkgsrc is highly portable and can be bootstrapped on multiple UNIX like systems
I have compiled it on MacOS Big Sur M1
Just make sure you have the ARM64 XQuartz installed and Xcode
MIPS OSF/1 disk images are here, please uncompress them
disk1.img.xz
disk2.img.xz
Just unxz these archives and place the loader script in the path
gxemul -M 128 -e 3max -d disk1.img -d disk2.img
Root password is: p4ssw0rd
User password is: p4ssw0rd
There is GCC-2.7.2.3 in your path to compile some code
And a bunch of tools for you to play around in /usr/local
Some good reference https://kb.pocnet.net/wiki/OSF/1_1.0 (if you want to be hardcore)
