[Simh] New release of PDP10 simulators.

[Richard Cornwell]

Hello,

I am pleased to announce the addition of the KL10 to the DEC PDP10
simulators. With this addition all of the DEC PDP10 computers are now
supported. Including the KA10, KI10, KL10A and KL10B and Bob's KS10.
KL10 has support for ITS and will run TOPS 10 7 series monitors or TOPS
20 monitors. The KL10 will also run TOPS 10 6.03, along with the KA and
KI. 

The KL10 adds support for RH20 devices, and the NIA20. Also supported
is a printer off the Front End and terminal lines off the Front End on
ITS and Tops 10/20. The KL10 can be configured to operate either as a
KL10A, or extended addressing KL10B, and for ITS modifications.

New additions to simulators:

   Disk
   * RH10/RH20 RP04/RP06/RP07 (RP07 not supported under 6.03).
   * RH10/RH20 RS04

   Printer
   * LP20 on KL10 Front end.

   Front end terminal multiplexer on KL10.

   NIA20 networking for KL10.

   III Display for WAITS.

  RP01-RP07 type disks support KLH10 DBD9 and DLD9 disk format. So images created
with KLH10 can be used without issue.

  I would like to thank Bob Supnik, Lars Brinkhoff, Mark Pizzolato, Pascal Parent,
Bruce Baumgart, Angelo Papenhoff, Bryan Jenson, Cory Smelosky, Phile Budne,
R. Voorhorst, Rich Alderson, Stephen Jones, Al Kossow, and The Living Computerr
Museum. All these helped in various ways to get these simulators working. Either
via testing, contributing devices, or providing documentation or software.

  Software kits for Tops 10 and Tops 20 can be found at:

  ITS can be found at:

As more software becomes available I will place them on my web site. Tops 10 5.07 and
Tops 10 4.5/4.72 are in the works. Possibly a Tenex system can be built.
