Thanks. :) That’s definitely interesting history.
I have KLH10 running on my Linux virtual machine. Tops-20 seems much more newbie-friendly than ITS, though I’d love to eventually figure the latter out if only for Zork/MDL. ;)

I’m sadly unqualified to begin writing any simulators. It seems KLH10 is the one I’ll stick with though, at least for the PDP10.
I take it the front-end console is a thing on a real KL10. Reading instructions about how to load tapes and microcode is a little strange when I just have to type a few commands into the simulator.
I’m glad the Tops-20 V7 notebooks are available in text form. I’d forgotten about that until today. :)
