Re: [Simh] The minutiae of hardware/software interactions affecting SIMH

Great questions. You have spotted the main differences between community code projects and managed/professional code projects. Ideally, the requirements, primary sources, and any deviant behavior from the primary sources should be documented in the source code base. However, this depends upon

[Simh] RSTS/E 10.1-L and Paper tape
