  That's the problem - the KS never had DTEs, not even close, and simh only emulates a KS10.  The only way out is to emulate a KL, and that's a big job.  KLH10 already does that pretty well, and I don't think simh will ever acquire KL emulation.

  The other issue with the KS was that it was limited to two sections (512KW) of memory, and that's pretty much a show stopper for all later versions of TOPS20.

  It runs TOPS10 fairly well, though.
