I would just like to point out that WAITS has been running on a KL-10 at LCM+L
for several years, after I spent about 4 years on various parts of getting the
OS onto a disk, creating a system for turning Bruce and Martin's blob files
into DART tape images, and loading files onto the disks.

I discovered by accident that WAITS will run just fine under the KLH10 version
of the KL-10, since it will run with RSX-20F as well as KLDCP, depending on
the start address.
