Define what you mean by bare KA-10. From what I can see early WAITS ran on a KA10 with a custom IBM3330 disk interface. There appears to be one version that ran on the KA10 that used the BBN pager. Note Bruce's Javascript PDP10 appears to emulate a pretty standard KA10. > (Having spent 4 years getting WAITS onto a KL-10 at the museum, > reading the source from top to bottom, I am quite confident of this > statement.) If you can get me a copy of WAITS for KA10 I will give it a try. > TENEX requires the BBN pager on the KA-10. BBN pager support is in my simulator however it is not tested. I have been unable to get TENEX to link, and don't think I have enough pieces to actually build the thing. Right now I have Tops 10 6.03 for both KA and KI (with VM), Tops 5.03 for KA. I should have a pretty complete 4.5/4.72 soon. Along with a functional TSExec 1.4. Possibly also 3.19. Once I get the PDP6 mods done I plan on adding the WAITS PMP disk controller.
