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!
