Boot into ITS
Set switch 0001, turn on PiDP. May need to run:
pdpcontrol start
Push the following keys on PiDP:
STOP, 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

Commands
:FIND
:FIND TS
:FIND TS MINSKY
:FIND INFO
:PRINT .INFO
:LISTF
:CWD,HAUNT (to move to the HAUNT dir)
:CWD (to move up a dir)
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
