DEC produced IMP interfaces for the -10/20. They typically were
bundled into the T systems (e.g. 1090T), but could be bought
separately. DEC provided drivers & utilities for TOPS-20, but
not TOPS-10.<br>
<br>
KL10 - AN10 - I/O bus interface to the IMP for 1080/1090/1091<br>
AN20 - Same, for DECSYSTEM-20 (includes the DIB20 - the
I/O bus adapter for the KL)<br>
KS10 - AN22 (Yet another KMC11 + line card device) This may have
been a repackaged IMP11-B.<br>
<br>
Both models come in standard (30 ft) interfaces, or with a long line
(2,000 ft) interface. I don't remember the detailsl, but the long
line interface was probably differential.<br>
<br>
DEC came a bit late to the party, but -10s were a large part of the
early arpanet. And for most people, DEC field service represented
risk reduction from homebrew.<br>

<pre wrap="">I'm focusing on interfacing with a PDP-10. But it could be interesting
to make a list of possible future additions. Which interfaces were
there?
- KA IMP: PDP-10 I/O bus.
- DM IMP: PDP-10 I/O bus. Just one, made by Bob Metcalfe.
- ACC LH/DH: Unibus.
- DEC/CSS IMP11-A: Unibus.
- CIMPSPIF: GE-645 GIOC.
- ABSI: Honeywell 6180.
- IBM?
etc
