I think I remember using E11 under Win2k, but I am not sure.
There are certain problems since E11 is designed for DOS.
However, I have run E11 under Windows 98 SE and Windows 95.
Both seem to work well and have the added advantage of using
the cache support which I don't think that DOS provides
automatically.
In addition, E11 is MUCH faster. I have run both E11 (Ersatz-11)
and SIMH on a 750 MHz Pentium III. E11 seems to be about
15 times faster than a real PDP-11/93. Depending on the compiler
used, SIMH seems to be about 2 times as fast as a real PDP-11/93.

Your system could also be infected. I have not experienced
any problems similar to those that you mention.

As I stated above, I think I tried. But there will be some restrictions
even if it works. With the same AGP video card, I can use 132
character lines with Windows 98 SE, but NOT with either WME
or WXP.
For those of you who know, I focus on running RT-11.
But no one else seems to care about fixing bugs in RT-11
let alone making enhancements. I hope by the end of 2003
to make V5.03 Y2K compliant, possibly even Y10K
compliant. Anyone interested? Y10K compliant will
required some agreements among RT-11 users, so I
hope that this post can start that public discussion!
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
