Hi Paul,
Here is what you want.

http://www.avanthar.com/healyzh/decemulation/pdp10emu.html

The PDP-10 is why I started the site.  I’ve been working on replacing dead 
links with Archive.org links where I can find them.

   I can try. Still generating the Tops20 software kits.

   Not really, perhaps others might now. Most of information is
   summarized from release logs.

I looked there for a bit.  For those not fluent in PDP-10, would it be possible 
to add some instructions?  Or pointers to manuals (say, on Bitsavers) that 
would help?

One of the TOPS-20 releases is marked as being DECnet Phase II.  Do you know 
which flavor of DECnet the others are?  I'd like to find a Phase III to keep 
around for interoperability testing.

Congratulations!  I know there's a lot of hard work behind this.

I'd like to point out the merge was done yesterday, which was exactly to
the day 53 years after the first PDP-10 was powered on for the first time.

Nice work!

For the record, I have a TOPS-10 6.03A monitor SYSTEM.EXE that runs on 
the KS10 simh. It is an installation monitor, so it has everything 
compiled in, but I do not have sources to do a real MONGEN.


I was able to cobble together a 6.03 system, using that 6.03A SYSTEM.EXE 
and get a bootable 6.03(A-ish) system running. I believe 6.03A used all 
the same CUSPS and other binaries as 6.03, and nothing changed except 
monitor support to run on the KS10.


If anyone cares, the monitor is available at 
http://pdp10.kilonet.org/files/tops10-monitor-603a.tap as a tape image.


thanks!
art k.
