Here's what I know:<br>
<br>
Rob Jarrett ported a KDP simulation to the latest emulator. It
didn't quite work. There's a personal repo on github, but it's
not worth a pointer.<br>
<br>
I have 2 -10s and 2 -20s configured for DECnet (and ANF-10)
running on my desktop. (!) No 11-based ANF nodes yet.<br>
<br>
I made some progress - I had ANF-10 up for an hour or so;
DECnet-10 not at all; DECnet-20 sometimes. The KDP emulation is
missing some commands that the OSs count on. My code isn't in the
repo, yet.<br>
<br>
Mark Pizzolato has a DUP emulation that he says is mostly working
on 11s and VMS. Rather than keep two DUP emulations, the plan was
to split the KDP into the KMC + DUP, rather like the real
hardware.<br>
<br>
I've been off line for about the past 10 daze - e-mail appears and
disappears on my servers - the responsible party calls it an
'upgrade', so I'm not sure what the current state pf the KDP/DMR
work is.<br>
<br>
I have tracked down the COMIOP-DUP microcode USER's documentation
with the help of Al Kossow and Cynde Moya, and it's on bitsavers
along with the DMR tech manuals. (Both even agree with my
memory.) <br>

<br>
Once I catch up on e-mail, I'll see what I can do to help,
depending on where Mark and Rob are. (They may have given up on
me due to my on/off (mostly off) mail service. Hopefully that's
fixed.)<br>
<br>
I have 2,475 e-mail messages to sort thru before I'm
up-to-date...but should have some time this weekend. I hope.<br>
