Category
The reason I put this page in Category: DEC Systems was that it covers a number of different machines; KA, KI, etc. So it's not really a PDP-10 system, but it covers them all. But I can see the point of putting it in Category: PDP-10 Systems, and since that cat goes in 'DEC Systems', it's still findable, so it's OK there too. Jnc (talk) 15:22, 5 July 2019 (CEST)
PDP-10 emulators
There is a bit of a difference between the functionality of the PDP-10/X and PCjs's PDP-10, much larger than hardware vs Software.
- David Conroy's, advanced beyond the PDP-10s architecture, ran faster, and could use IDE disks, and with a software modification run ITS on a disk larger than 32MB, ( and ran on a 500MB disk ), as well as a full DEC Net protical layer, which allowed him to clone disk installations over networking.
- He had some problems emulating the Floating point instructions, specifically mentioning FDIV
- PCjs is "WARNING: PDP-10 emulation is still in development, so functionality will be limited until further notice."
- It gives this funny init warning. "PCjs Machine "testka10"

PDP-10 Buses
I'm toying with the idea of moving the PDP-10 bus material to a separate article. Actually, maybe two separate ones: PDP-10 memory buses, and PDP-10 I/O bus? What do people think? Jnc (talk) 18:56, 25 September 2022 (CEST)
- Are you planning on expanding the text? If so, sure, separate pages would make sense. If no, I don't think the current text bloats the article much. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 22:02, 26 September 2022 (CEST)
- Ah, sorry; I should have explained what the motivation was. It would not be size; it would be to make it easier for other articles which wish to link to detailed content on various PDP-10 buses to do so. At the moment they have to link to PDP-10#Busses, which is not very clean. One or two, OK; but there are lots of pages that want to link to PDP-10 buses. Jnc (talk) 01:05, 27 September 2022 (CEST)
