and a small subset of the code for SIMH (the 340). KLH10 implements
KL10 and KS10 Tops-20 and ITS paging microcode. I thought I
remembered some stubs for the KI, but I wouldn't swear to it.<br>
<br>
I believe the KA10 was de-supported as of the 6.00 series monitor.
WPI had 6.05 running on our KA10, but it was "much modified" as we
had some real hackers on staff (I wasn't one of them as I worked in
Marlboro)<br>
<br>
The KI had to have been de-supported by 7.04 because the October
1988 version of the Tops-10 Monitor Calls Reference Manual has a
section on user mode extended addressing (2.2).<br>
<br>
The SMP code at one point did run on a KI as this is what it was
debugged on. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing two KI's in the same
machine room as 2102, 2116, 2136 and 2137, but I could be wrong. I
don't remember their processor numbers. Marlboro employees would go
starry eyed talking about SMP...<br>
<br>
It is tempting to speculate that it might not be an extremely heavy
lift to do KI paging as it is a subset of TENEX paging (which the KL
implements a subset of). What I mean is that you would chuck more
code than you'd write. I could, of course, be completely
delusional. I would think that probably SIMH would be your best bet
in that arena.

<div>So I have a lot of T10 7.02 based code for KI10 (using

<div>7.03 has lots of internal changes that did not work on KI,
so back ported DECnet 4 etc from 7.03 to 7.02 (remember we

<div>Was there 7.02 that used KL10/Tops20 paging? I don't have
the dist tapes any longer?<br>

<div>Or is there a PDP10 emulator that do KI Tops10 paging that

<div>Ps, tops10 does not "cross compile" between versions well
