of course – it’s my favourite blog after all. : ) a great place to learn stuff, feel nostalgic, or just take a break from school/work. and commenting is a lot easier in wordpress, although i’d opt for a darker background that’s easier on the eyes.

anyway, i’m mainly waiting for PA-RISC emulation so that i can migrate my old HP-UX install from an old brain-dead workstation of mine. i know some work has been done by someone in the past, but the HPPAQEMU sourceforge page has no files, and they claim to only support linux.

well, you can’t have everything.

./qemu-0.10.0/hppa-dis.c
./qemu-0.10.0/hppa.ld
./qemu-0.10.0/tcg/hppa
./qemu-0.10.5/hppa-dis.c
./qemu-0.10.5/hppa.ld
./qemu-0.10.5/tcg/hppa
./qemu-0.11.0/hppa-dis.c
./qemu-0.11.0/hppa.ld
./qemu-0.11.0/tcg/hppa
./qemu-0.12.0/hppa-dis.c
./qemu-0.12.0/hppa.ld
./qemu-0.12.0/tcg/hppa
./qemu-0.12.5/hppa-dis.c
./qemu-0.12.5/hppa.ld
./qemu-0.12.5/tcg/hppa
./qemu-0.13.0/hppa-dis.c
./qemu-0.13.0/hppa.ld
./qemu-0.13.0/tcg/hppa
./qemu-0.14.0/hppa-dis.c
./qemu-0.14.0/hppa.ld
./qemu-0.14.0/tcg/hppa
./qemu-0.14.1/hppa-dis.c
./qemu-0.14.1/hppa.ld
./qemu-0.14.1/tcg/hppa

It appears (I could be wrong) that this code is in as a guest, allowing the HPPA to run foreign exe’s and OS’s, not other OS’s to run HPPA stuff. If I had an HPPA box I guess I’d know more, but alas, I do not.

Looking here it appears someone was working on it at one point…

There was an HPPA branch project at one point, but I think it’s abandoned now.

It’d be cool to see QEMU fully run the original OSes for non-x86 targets, graphics and all.

I’m sure at some point in time it’ll happen… Itanium or HPPA? Well I guess it really comes down to someone finding the need/time and doing it. Hell they did port binutils/gcc to the HPPA & Itanium so .. anything is possible.

I’m glad you found this place.. 🙂

I hope commenting here wasn’t too painful…!

(btw i’m ‘casaubon’ from the old blog, congratulations on the new one)
