The VPX responder device now drives production BattleTech v4.10 through the full transputer/i860 boot, far past the Phase 1 wall: - iserver boot handshake solved: feeds 3 well-formed 'version' (tag 42) iserver requests, satisfying startup_handshake()'s 3 transactions. - i860 download solved: parses the outbound framed renderer messages (vr_860args/code/data/bss) and absorbs them, staying byte-aligned. - echo-action reply model validated against board source (VRENDER/VR_REMOT.C reply() echoes the received action); device tracks and echoes the last outbound action generally. Remaining sub-protocol identified and characterized: after i860 boot the host switches to a FIFO fast path (OUTSW.ASM: 0x40 tag + REP OUTSW 16-bit words to FIFO port 0x154/0x155, gated by ok_to_fifo at 0x160). The current build stops at velocirender_sync because the device only implements the slow byte path. PHASE2-PROGRESS.md documents the exact next steps (FIFO transport + render loop -> Phase 3 OpenGL backend). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
