[Simh] Anyone Have a SIMH Disk Image of a Phase III Node That Uses KDP or DUP?

[Jarratt RMA]

As far as I know the license kit that is around is for VMS 4.x and above, I
don't think there is one for earlier versions, which is what Timothe and I
would need. If someone can provide a link for the earlier license kit that
would be great.

Regards

Rob
