TOPS-20 V7 won’t run on a KS10 (simh), so requires a KL10B (KLH10). Back when I was actively working with the emulators I recommended SIMH for TOPS-10, and KLH10 for TOPS-20. I think more TOPS-20 V7 documentation has survived than V4.1, but I haven’t gone looking to see what’s available recently.
One of these days I hope to get an Intel NUC up and running, in part for things like simh and KLH10. I can only imagine the speed of TOPS-10 on modern hardware!
