@SDF Hmmm, I’ll it a try. It’s decades since I’ve used Tops. I wonder if I can remember any of the commands.

@SDF That's so cool! It looks similar to VMS which I have used a bit back in the 20th century. I figured out how to add readme.txt. 😃

@SDF Our EE college (1977) at Uni had a PDP-10. We had retired Western Union teletype machines to interface with it. The output printed on a roll of yellow paper - exactly as you would imagine.

@SDF I wish I understood what that means.

@SDF This is really cool! I didn't know this site existed. I worked on TENEX/TOPS-20 at BBN when I was starting out, wrote a bunch of the network code, connecting the BBN machines to different networks, so this brings back memories. Do you have a pointer to the PANDA distribution? Can it run under an emulator on a RPI?

@wizdude The fan tray is on the bottom, very old school. The rack frame extensions were cut off with a plasma torch to reduce weight so one person could carry the unit, but now it can't be rack mounted. It is sitting on old DEC Alpha DS10L rails to allow for airflow.

@SDF is there a good contact email for y'all? I was wanting to find some more info on a game that's playable on Twenex (Crime, by David Nilsen, no copyright date or anything)

@SDF Very cool. I know a guy who'd probably love to play with that. Back in the day he was a TOPS-10/20 guru.
