[HECnet] ANF10 network --> software for DN60xxx Rje to IBM

[R. Voorhorst]

For DN60 variants software look in the trailing edge Pdp10 archives for tape
BB-J845A-SM; it is called TOPS-20 IBM 2780/3780/HASP E/T for the
DECSYSTEM-2020.
Contrary to what I thought, the hardware platform and software is similar to
Anf10 and should run on a simh pdp11 properly throttled but with added
interfaces.
In this case It is specified for Tops20 V4 on 2020. There  also exists tapes
for older Pdp10 systems with dte type interfaces and Tops10.
As we have Tops20 V4.1 there is a base to work upon.

  TOPS-10 had an IBM HASP communication FE product; I think it was called a
DN60.  I used it long ago - you could submit card decks to JES2 under OS/VS2
from files on the -10 and get the resulting print out back as another disk
file on the -10.  Beats a keypunch and a line printer by miles...   It'd be
kind of neat, although a total waste of time, to hook up a simh TOPS10 to a
Hercules and try to get that working.
