Hi Raylene, (01)
I've got a clean, working TOPS-20 (v7.0) system, installed from doing a
restore of a tape image downloaded from http://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/
running on Ken's klh10 emulator. (02)
I'm able to boot the PDP-10 and then start TOPS-20 (no network yet)
successfully. I can also do some simple commands, such as listing the
files in the <subsys> directory, or showing the running processes. (03)
Now I'd like to try to mount the four Augment structures, but I can't
seem to get the Augment PS: structure (using the PRP07 virtual disk) to
boot. I know the disks are RP07 (instead of RP06 like the vanilla
TOPS-20 image) but I'm not sure if they are in raw or dbd9 format. (04)
Could you email me the klh10 .ini file that you are using with the six
virtual disks? That might help me clear what up what I'm doing wrong. (05)
Thanks! (06)
