I'm aware of these limitations. I'm using KLH10 on daily basis for some time now, both for TOPS-20 and ITS, and I can confirm it's a great piece of code. The only problem for me was the timing issue on amd64 system (there is no native x64 build for KLH10), but two changes in makefile was enough to get ride of them... :-) I'm not sure if KLH10 is still actively developed (I'm using version 2.0h - as in Panda distribution with tun/tap patch), and that's why I was wondering if it'd have sense to try to merge KLH10 code into SimH (at least the KL10 part) , so we can have full PDP-10 support...
