+
+We can run [! PWB Unix](/1970s/1977/pwb-unix) on the SIMH PDP-11 emulator. First, we need to download the ! PWB Unix image.
+
+## Downloads

+
+## Using ! PWB Unix
+
+:::tip
+
+If you have not already installed SIMH PDP-11 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp11/) on Linux and Windows.
+
+:::
+
+Extract the disk image. If you are on Windows, you may need to install additional software such as [7-Zip](https://www.7-zip.org/) to extract the kit. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM, and move the disk image file into it.
+
+Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `pdp11.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
+
+```ini
+set cpu 11/23+
+set clk 50hz
+set dlo enabled
+set dli lines=4
+set dlo0 7b
+set dlo1 7b
+set dlo2 7b
+set dlo3 7b
+att dli 8023
+set rq0 rd52
+attach rq0 PWB-1.0-23.rd52
+boot rq0
+```
+
+![pdp11.ini](./pwb-unix-SIMH-1.webp)
+
+Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
+
+```bash
+pdp11
+```
+
+![pdp11](./pwb-unix-SIMH-2.webp)
+
+After the emulator starts, login using `root` as the username and `ken` as the password. You can run `date` to see the date and time, `cat` to read text files, `ls` to see list of files and folders in the current directory, and `uname` to see the configured name of the kernel.
+
+![! PWB Unix commands](./pwb-unix-SIMH-3.webp)
+
+To exit the emulator, type `Ctrl` + `E`, and then run `exit`.
+
+That's it! We used ! PWB Unix. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
+
+### Linux
+
+Create a file called `pwb-unix.sh` with the following content:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+pdp11
+```
+
+Now make the file executable:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x pwb-unix.sh
+```
+
+Now you can start the VM using the shell script. For example, on KDE you can right-click the file and choose `Run in Konsole` or on GNOME, where you can right-click the file and choose `Run as executable`. The VM will start.
+
+See the [manuals section](/1970s/1977/pwb-unix/#manuals) on the [main ! PWB Unix page](/1970s/1977/pwb-unix) to learn how to use it.
+
+### Windows
+
+Create a file called `pwb-unix.bat` with the following content:
+
+```bash
+pdp11
+```
+
+Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1977/pwb-unix/#manuals) on the [main ! PWB Unix page](/1970s/1977/pwb-unix) to learn how to use it.
