- my installation:
The system is a Windows Server 2003;
I am logged on as Administrator; the installation kit of freeaxp is on the desktop;
double-click; a title window pops out;
"click next to continue"
click on next;
a license agreement windows pos out;
tick on "I agree..." then click on next;
Installation options windows
I am installing with all defaults:
v Core components and
v MSI netwok driver...
deafult installation folder is C:\Programmi\FreeAXP
then click on install.
An installation completed windows appears, option to start the configuration utility.
click on finish.
no configuration window cames out.
The error posted is obtained from the event viewer,
application errors.
Now I get the sample config file from
www.openvmshobbyist.com/forum/viewthread...id=163&thread_id=873
with some changes to fit my environment:
/* -- FreeAXP Config --
AXP_Serial.cfg
FreeAXP configuration defining second serial port (TTA0).
Do not modify this configuration using the FreeAXP Wizard.
-- */
cp = control
{
cp_log = logfile
{
filename = "E:\Alpha\AXP_Serial.log"
}
alpha = alpha
{
memory=128M;
image = "E:\Alpha\AXP_Serial.nvr"
pcibus = dc21071da
{
data = "E:\Alpha\AXP_Serial.toy"
serial0 = i16550
{
s0_tn = telnet
{
port = 9000;
wait = true;
action = """C:\Programmi\FreeAXP\putty.exe"" telnet://localhost:9000"
}
}
serial1 = i16550
{
s1_tn = telnet
{
port = 9001;
wait = true;
action = """C:\Programmi\FreeAXP\putty.exe"" telnet://localhost:9001"
}
}
pci7 = i82378
{
}
pci6 = symbios
{
disk0.0 = file
{
image = "E:\Alpha\dka100.img"
autocreate_size = 4G;
}
disk0.6 = device
{
device = "\\.\cdrom0"
read_only = true;
cdrom = true;
}
}
pci11 = de500
{
adapter="ask"
}
}
}
}
By using this config file I can launch freeaxp.exe and now I get the output:

59.38 Emulator Units of Performance
I am waiting for the console prompt ">>>"
but it looks that there is another more problem because is still giving the units of
performance after 15 minutes... the log file claims that more output has been sent to
the serial port 0:
XP-I-CPUSTRT: cp(control).alpha(alpha).cpu0(EV4): CPU Starting
CSI-I-WRSTRING: Write string "ff.fe.fd.fc.fb.fa.f9.f8.f7.f6.f5." on serial port 0

CSI-I-WRSTRING: Write string "V7.0-9, built on Mar 18 1999 at 13:25:37" on serial port 0
Now, my server has one serial port but it uses this port for special hw config, so I removed from config both the serial ports.
As above, I am still waiting for the console prompt.
any suggestion? bye
