PiDP-10

Boot into ITS

Set switch 0001, turn on PiDP. May need to run: 

pdpcontrol start

Push the following keys on PiDP:

START, READ IN

Then in terminal type:

ITS <enter>

ESC, G

Ctrl Z (to log into DDT) - (completely unnecessary)

Better to launch Knight and login from there if you like with F1.

To exit ITS type:

:lock

5down

(follow instructions!)

NB: Ctrl+L may help is something's hanging. (clears screen in DDT)

NB: Ctrl+\ should get you into simh

Common symbols

^ or ↑ = Ctrl

Commands

:FIND

:FIND TS

:FIND TS MINSKY

:FIND INFO

:PRINT .INFO

:LISTF

To start a program in a folder outside the SYS or SYSn directories:

:HAUNT;OPS4

To run a LOGO program like a2deh:

:LLOGO 

(lisp logo).  Once you answer a bunch of questions that come up, you can issue this command to run the game:

RF ADV LOGO DSK A2DEH

Copy ITS program over to PiDP ITS

You'll need the output.tape file. There are 2 located at:

/opt/its/out/pdp10-ka/output.tape

/opt/its/pdp10-ka/output.tape

Then you have to load the tape, which I think can only be done in simh. To get to simh run pdpcontrol start, then only trigger the STOP switch and launch the simh app. At simh you must type in:

at mta /opt/its/pdp10-ka/output.tape <enter>

Then you can trigger the READ IN switch.

Now in DDT enter the following commands to load in the game HAUNT in this example:

:dump

DUMP  .449

_LOAD crdir

FILE=haunt;* *

FILE=   <enter>

After import complete you will get a prompt with just _

Type QUIT

The dump is complete.

Connect to PiDP-10

VNC to it!

Also you can get the DDT/Knight monitor by going running:

./tvcon -2BS pidp10.local

Similary, for a VT-52, and so on:

 ./vt52 -B telnet pidp10.local 10018
