Installing Unix V6 on the [[Ersatz-11]] simulator can be a relatively simple process, depending on whether one simply wants to be able to say one has done it, or whether one wants a usable system.

See the external links below for detailed instructions which cover a range from the simplest ('I did it') to the most complex.

==Controlling LSI-11's==

To run an actual physical [[LSI-11]] from a simulated Unix V6 running under Ersatz-11, first see [[Running an LSI-11 from Unix V6]]; then include a line of the form:

''assign tt1: com1: /mode:9600,n,8,2 /dtr:on /rts:on''

in Ersatz-11 configuration file; the [[EIA RS-232 serial line interface|DTR and RTS]] can probably be dispensed with, and the speed and parity will have to be adjusted for the particular interface on the LSI-11, but the 8 bit size is key.

One will want to cable the either the simulated PDP-11 or the actual LSI-11 as a [[EIA RS-232 serial line interface|DTE]] (DB-9 to DB-25 cables to do this from a simulated PDP-11 are easily available on eBay, etc); one can then cable either the LSI-11 or the simulated PDP-11 as a DCE, or use a [[null modem]] if either is also wired as a DTE.
