Hi, I am curious where you found a 7.02 Monitor. I would be interested in a copy since this is the last one that supports the KI10. Also 7.01 would be nice too. I have 6.03 and 5.03 and am working on getting 4.5, 3.19 and 1.4 running. However all from 5.03 back only support the

The Ks10 Dmr case hos now been solved; the Dmr can be used in Tops10 V7.02 to 7.05 with Decnet and Anf, but some minor issues have still to be resolved. The trace can be followed at the Simh issue list #100: https://github.com/simh/simh/issues/100 This trace will be closed but there is a

More time is getting consumed by the things around it like to enable debugging then the debugging proper. A Tops10-703 base system with Decnet networking has been generated. The standard basic network partner for my network tests is a Vax8600 with various DMC lines; I only use the more broader

Laziness doesn't pay .. For checking the DMR behavior I resorted to the 703 image distributed on the net. The fact that the DMR version V022 didn't line out with the monitor version 703, to search for all versions of D8RINT in the archives; a few were found. Since some distrust arose, I

Comparing the debugging results from Tops10 703 with 704 I decided to switch the test code base to D8RINT V016 and Tops10-703 since this version combination is closer to the original, of which Timothe reported it had run, and because with one code patch, of which one can be reasonably sure that it

When trying to make the combination Simh KS10 work with the DMR synchronous line interface on Tops10-704; some peculiarities are encountered. Has anyone at the time seen this combination effectively work on the real hardware? The driver for DMR is D8RINT.MAC in UNSMON and is created for Tops10

Might you know by chance where the 705 set can be retrieved; as far as I know 705 was the result of various patches applied to 704 and not released as a separate version. Best regards A newer one /might/ have been included with the 7.05 monitor set. Not sure though. Best regards Volledige

Trying to see whether it would work on Tops10-703 as probably nearby enough to 702, the following emerges: somehow on the 703 Decnet distribution tape a D8RINT version already for the 704 monitor version has been shipped as it has code on board referring to code pieces only existing in other

With the search functionality in the archive one can retrieve some older versions of D8RINT.MAC On the TSU for 704 there is no one distributed, so the last is for 704. ___ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com
