Hey Dave, I think the two guys working the tools originally were Bob Rosenbaum and Harvey Schlesinger. You are pretty much correct on the diffs between KMC and DMC. KMC had 180NS instruction time, and larger ram than the DMC iirc on that point. I worked on both with Remi Lissee. I designed the DMC

Hello. I have two card cages out of a pair of Linotron 202 phototypesetting machines, and have been hunting for documentation for the Naked Mini systems used in them for over a year now. The Computer Automation CPU boards in the systems have been a complete mystery to me until recently. To make

Thanks to everyone who has sent suggestions about remote job submission from a simulated PDP-11 to a simulated IBM/370. Although I do want to get this working on a simulated PDP-11 running RSX-11M, the mention of the Unix 'send' command grabbed my attention, since that rings a vague bell in my mem
