I found and fixed a variety of minor problems with the emulator, and also fixed some biggies: pkg/34899: TME sun3 emulator fails M68K instruction cmpmw (sp)+,(sp)+ pkg/35305: TME sun3 emulator incorrectly emulates ethernet obie & i825x6 hardware The fix for 35305 allows SunOS to use ethernet inside the emulator. So other than extended precision floating point, and a bizarre memory problem compiling the chimera web-browser from pkgsrc inside NetBSD 3.0 inside the emulator (35803), TME works absolutely functionally identically to a real sun3. I even had a Sun3 Dillo poker party, where guests were able to pull-up the poker hand rankings on the internet via the dillo web-browser - built from pkgsrc - running on an emulated Sun3 running NetBSD 3.0. The nameserver is finicky running on a Sun3, but everything worked perfectly and wild coed partygoers screamed with Sun3 emulation enjoyment. With the dillo success, I don't think there's anything more to test or fix, so I'll take a happy Christmas vacation from emulating. I haven't heard anything from Matt, but hope he's smiling! /arthur
