Mine won't talk to TOPS10/20, yet. I started
something on that too if I remember
correctly, I did build a DDCMP implementation which I think partially worked.
I think I foundered on just getting DECnet running on TOPS20 on SIMH,
I did some work with Mark Pizzolato and Timothe Litt to build a KDP emulation,
but I struggled to keep up with them and gave up in the end. I am not sure where
that went.
It was your initial work that inspired Tim's complete KDP work (OS DDCMP
implementation) and the full fledged DDCMP in the DMC/DMR devices on the
Unibus PDP and VAX simulators. To the extent that either of these devices had
OS support in TOPS10/20 they will work fine with whatever version of DECnet
that used them.
