I don't know if this can be of help...

I have uploaded at BITXOV:: the file TOPS10KLB.ZIP, which contains:

[BITXOV]$ unzip/list tops10klb

klboot.exe is a bootloader which (should) work with KLH10 to boot
t10bootkl.tap, which is a KL-bootable 7.04 tape. I made this stuff some
months ago, and I was able to install 7.04 under KLH10 (including DECNET
suport over ethernet). The details are semi-forgotten (I should have
blogged that! :)), but I have just tried to boot the tape and I got into
the monitor prompt.

Remember to answer '/TM3' to the BOOT> prompt.



Thank you.   I'll grab the stuff just in case.
