Checking https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/its-archives/blob/master/ailab/ITS_Hardware_Memo_1.pdf I see the memo refers to the two processors as Processor A and Processor B, so that would be consistent with A SEL(elect) and B SEL to signal which processor is accessing the IO bus. RD RQ and WR RQ...

PIA means PI channel assignment, which means the selection of one of seven interrupt levels on a PDP-6 or 10. A device will almost always have a programmable interrupt level, and it's usually CONO (and CONI) bits 33-35. Sometimes a device can interrupt on several channels, and then there are...

I already answered on the ccmp list, but for completeness I'll post this here: https://gunkies.org/wiki/DUMPER_tape_format I wrote a C program to read and write MINI-DUMPER and DUMPER tapes. As for TENEX in general, I believe this is the closest anyone has been to running it in this...

I think we should also mention it runs WAITS, the Stanford AI lab system. And TOPS-20, although it’s anachronistic to run it with a KA10 console. There has also been some work on bringing up TENEX.

Check under "How to get one" here: https://obsolescence.dev/pidp10.html

The replica is supposed to run TOPS-20 in all it's extended addressing glory. Of course that's utterly inappropriate for a KA10 console, but who am I to judge?

Steins;Gate, amirite? Not for sale just yet. Plastic case is supposed to arrive to Oscar's factory late January next year.

Is ARCnet support considered for the emulator? Oh, and here's a Datapoint t-shirt: https://techsquare.myspreadshop.se/datapoint

That's a scary way to start a post. Glad the rest of the message was more optimistic!

Are you planning on doing anything with the microcode?

Oscar Vermeulen is going to show his PiDP-10 prototype.

Not sure if I'm horrified or delighted. But in a good way!

I tried throttling all the way back to SET THROTTLE=1k or something, but there was no change.
