V4.1 is the last version of TOPS-20 to run on the KS, at least
officially. Releases after that are KL-only. SimH emulates a KS.<br>
<br>
The tapes for 4.1 are available. We don't have an emulator for the
AN22, so you have to run DECnet - but as of today, it sounds as
though a version of DECnet for Unix is becoming available!
Otherwise, you can do DECnet to a simulated VAX or 11, then TCP/IP
to the rest of the (real) world.<br>
<br>
Some people crammed 5.0 into the KS, but that was never officially
released.<br>

Zane,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for your reply. The closest I ever came to
these operating systems on actual PDP-10s was via CompuServe in
around 1980 to 1982. So V4.1 is contemporary with that era, I
believe. But mainly I was trying to stick with simh. I’ve
never tried KLH10 and so nothing against it .. I was just trying
to stay loyal ..</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I did install the pcap and other networking bits ..
and have done that before when running the VAX on simh.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I tried V7 and that’s when I realized it doesn’t run
on simh. Unless I’m wrong. But I’m assuming V7 is going to
have the most fully developed networking for using in a modern
smh environment ..</div>

<div class="">BTW, I’m honestly surprised that you’ve
never run TOPS-20, I’d have thought you’d be one person
to have. :-) I assume you’re aware of my DEC Emulation
pages, granted they’re very out of date, but anything
that’s listed as a local copy should be there. I see I
have local copies of Bob’s TOPS-20 V4.1 installation
instructions.</div>

<div class="">Could you possibly point me to a

configuring the networking software for my
fresh TOPS-20 V4.1 installation?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have simh running on a linux
host and I’ve been enjoying TOPS-20 on a
PDP-10. I’ve done a clean installation and
have installed a few unbundled tapes. I’m
just learning TOPS-20 and I really like it.
I see I have MACRO installed and can’t wait
to learn to use it .. I enjoy assembly on
just about any hardware and I hear the
PDP-10 is tops .. so to speak.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Anyway, for now I’d like to get
the network access going. Currently I’m
running it through a <i class=""><font

session on my linux host.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any help truly appreciated.</div>
