Awesome!

What does it use for network device?


It's using the NI right now, as it's KLH10.

I think it was Rob that was working on the requisite devices in
SIMH...once he
has those tweaked I can attempt this in simh.


Yes, indeed I am, I was sent the code for a KMC/DUP device that I am
adapting to the latest SIMH and also changing around a bit. I am running
into a few problems, but nothing that won't be insurmountable (I hope!). It
may take me a little while to get it done though.

Greetings all,

Thought I'd move this in to a cleaner, fresh thread...

I have managed to get a working install of TOPS-10 7.04/7.05 in KLH-10
with DECnet and LAT!   I have tested it from my VT420.

You can test it too!   SET HOST to MARLEY and LOGIN as 1,2 (no password
yet...need to tweak that a bit).   Let me know how it works for you!

I still have a long way to go, and I have NO IDEA if I can replicate
this install
ever again...I have saved a complete (857,360 line!) copy of the terminal
output for future reference though!

Next comes either: getting this working in SIMH, or getting it
working on a real KS10/KL10 (I can likely convert this setup to a
KS10, too.   I'd just need to consult the DECnet-10 manuals).   Now if
only I had a KS10...;))
