That would be me. :-) It runs 6.03 and 5.03. The KI needs 2 more instructions to finish, before I can test it. Does anyone have VMSER for 6.03? I've been busy working on getting Scope 3.0 and 3.1 up and running under DtCyber so I have not been playing with the KA/KI simulator. I also have Monitor TS 1.19 and 4.05 transcribed. Right now my machine does not do DecTape so I can't run these older monitors. For those who are interested I managed to find a copy of the source for CDC Scope 3.1, and also a hacked copy of the Fortran RUN compiler for COS. Since neither has copyrights I believe I can make them available. RUN is sort of broken on COS. > With a simulated KA (and peripherals), the SIMH "TOPS-20" KS10 paging > code probably gives you a big running start at the BBN paging box > (which ISTR I have a document on).

Me either, been following alone. :-) BTW, the KA/KI simulator was written so that it would model the hardware so the code is not the neatest. I am working on cleaning it up and emulating the results rather then the algorithm.
