Tops-10 might work with DECnet, but then I also wonder over which interface, and if it do Phase IV...? Both TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 have DECnet Phase IV in newer releases, but, if I'm not wrong, Ethernet support at large is a KL10 thing only, so the only KS10 option for DECnet would be DDCMP, but it should anyway run Phase IV (as long as there is enough memory, so maybe better stick to end node only). There is a problem with software: if I'm not wrong (again!), TOPS-20 on KS10 is limited to V4.1 (due to memory contraints?), instead I think that the same CPU would run TOPS-10 up to the final V7.x releases. Note that probably (?) TOPS-20 V4.1 had only Phase III, so Phase IV on 2020 seems to be available only with TOPS-10 and DDCMP. HTH, :) G. Right.

NT 4 on AlphaServer es40

by clemc＠ccc.com

Yup the 11/60 had WCS, although few customers used it. CMU/3 Rivers had created the 40e with a WCS, and wrote a call/return instruction for C. We had a hacked UNIX to use it. When I was at Tek, Steve Glaser and I toyed with trying to write the uCode for the 60 to do the same thing to try to buy some more performance (it was the first UNIX box at Tek and quickly got overloaded), but we never did - as we replaced it with an 11/70. The 60 also was known for the confuse uCode instructions and since the front panel was run by the uCode the only solution was the pull the power to halt it.
