Hum... The Panda release would be MRCs stuff.
Wasn't that for the KS?
Maybe I'm misremembering. MRC did play with KLH10 as well, I seem to
remember.
Yup - found it at http://panda.trailing-edge.com/
It appears he is not with us any more, sad to have read that. You guys
must have known him personally.
Anyway, some folks ported it to the Raspberry Pi - Posted by Jordi
Guillaumes Pons' post is awesome, as is this one I don't know who wrote
this: http://www.ldx.ca/notes/tops-20-notes.html
As far as basics of TOPS-20 goes... Wow. That could be
a big subject.
Make sure you have an account with the WHEEL bit set. Then enable the
privileged commands (it was either ENABLE or ^E ENABLE). After that, you
could go into OPR to start fooling around with operator stuff.
From OPR, you can then get into NCP for DECnet stuff, for example.
Awesome - every bit helps; am learning fast! Thanks Johnny.

But it's a good question if there is any
TOPS-20 machine on HECnet
with guest account. I guess it could be interesting for others to
just experience what TOPS-20 looks and feels like.
I don't have any myself.

Starting from zero with both KLH10 and TOPS-20.
Newbie questions,
surely:
1) Is there a KLH10 distribution for Linux that supports VDE2? (It
appears it was at the least added? to the NetBSD target by Olaf
'Rhialto' Seibert after being reuested by Cory Smelosky, going by
https://github.com/PDP-10/klh10/issues/2)
2) Is it possible in KLH10 to have two network adapters, for
example, something like
# DECnet adapter
devdef ni0 564 ni20 dedic=true ifmeth=vde ifc=/tmp/vde-dnet
enaddr=aa:00:04:00:XX:YY
# IP adapter
devdef ni1 1500 ni20 dedic=true ifmeth=vde ifc=/tmp/vde-ip
enaddr=12:34:56:aa:bb:cc
3) Are there any KLH10 TOPS-20 systems active on HECnet now on which
I could have an account to look around?
Thanks
Supratim
