Patching monitor sources, rebuilding monitor modules and then replacing them into TOPS10.REL is a bit involved and now here is late evening, so remember me tomorrow or in a couple of days. :) For now I'll just write how to patch the monitor file because it's quickier. First of all, add the following to your KLH10 initialization file: devdef idler 740 host Then make a copy of your SYSTEM.EXE and work on the copy: .R FILDDT File: xxxxxx.EXE/P <--- /p to enable patching [Patching file DSKB:xxxxxx.EXE[1,2]] [35118 symbols loaded from file] [ACs copied from CRSHAC to 0-17] <--- FILDDT prints nothing, but it's ready to accept commands nulcod+1/ <--- type this and nothing more nulcod+1/ SOJG W,P <--- DDT will show you the contents of that location nulcod+1/ SOJG W,P CONO 740,1 <--- tell him to put this there instead and press enter to confirm <--- if all goes well FILDDT prints nothing again (friendly, isn't it?) ^Z <--- to save and exit Now try to boot with your patched monitor and see if does idle KLH10. This monitor will work only if there is a device at address 740. G.
