Bob, perhaps posting on alt.sys.pdp10 may help.

Onderwerp: [HECnet] TOPS20 on simh
Verzonden: 4 augustus 2011 23:29
Are there any HECnet'ers running TOPS20 on simh? Have you gotten the idle
detection to work?
I set up a TOPS20 system with simh (simh v3.8.1 on Ubuntu, TOPS20 v4.1
clean install). The installation went fine with no problems, but I cannot
get the idle detection feature in simh to work. I say -
pdp10
sim> att rp0 tops20-4.1.rp06
sim> set cpu tops20
sim> set cpu idle tops20
sim> show cpu
CPU, idle enabled, stability wait = 20s, 1048KW, TOPS-20
sim> b rp
....
Everything boots and runs fine, but simh uses about 98% of the host CPU and
never goes down. In an hour of wall clock time the pdp10 process uses about
58+ minutes of CPU time. Clearly the idle detection isn't working for me.
I did try posting this question on the simh list, but got no comments so I
guess nobody there is using TOPS20. And yes, I could use KLH10, but AFAIK
KLH10 has no idle detection feature at all.
Thanks,
Bob

Guys,
Being that my Mini is starting to show its age, I figured I'd move GORVAX onto something more modern.
Unfortunately that means running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - which means the networking went to shit.
Anyone got a copy of the SIMH VAX binary to run properly on 10.6?

Do you know what language it's scripted in? I'd be interested in further
developing it if I know the language as it's something STAR69 (my VAX
emulator) might come in handy for.
I am not sure what it is written in, but from the documentation I read, I am thinking C of some variant since it lists a C compiler as a requirement. I have to pull some header files from the NOTES distribution as well pull in some pieces from the OSU web server, so while it does not seem difficult, it will take a bit of time and planning.
Once I have something to test I'll email the list. NOTES is still running on MISER:: if folks with character-cell (or X) clients would like to connect.

Lets call it for what it is - "legacy" is a term that people use in a
polite but derogatory manner to imply that the future direction they
prefer is not that which they view as the current direction.
As soon as I have time, I'll install it on MISER:: if possible, as I already run Apache on this machine anyway ... It may be even as soon as tonight, Thursday. Once something is running I'll post to the list to see if everyone would like to start "testing". :)

As I'm a DECUServe member I had a look around on their demo if it running on EISNER:: and it seems to work pretty well. I say someone gives it a go on an isolated non-critical NOTES system to see how it goes, we can all drop by and try to break it ;)

Zane,
do you have a kit or a pointer to where to find the web interface? I wasn't aware of that there was a public version of it. I have always thought it was DEC internal only.

Hi all
Now that I've got my mail issues squared away, I did want to note (ha)
that if anyone wants to carry on off-topic stuff in a NOTES fashion,
feel free to add MISER::HECNET_OFF to your notebook.
A list->notes gateway I would need help with, although I would think a
gateway would not be needed since the point is to move certain
discussions off-list.
Regardless, it's there if folks want to use it. MISER:: is up 24/7
barring hardware problems or if the power goes out and I'm not around
to fire up the generator before the batteries give out.
Cheers,
Fred
