I've gotten all the way through a TOPS-20 V4.1 installation on simh, but not without some caveats.
To start with, this log is produced with the next version of the simulator, which includes logging. It also includes a shortcut for dealing with the TOPS-20 V4.1 boot problem:
sim> set cpu tops20v41
catches the bad WRCSTM in the boot process. To do this by hand,
sim> d break 7 sim> BOOT TU or RP
Breakpoint at PC: 000007 sim> d 40127 770000000000 sim> c
The first part of the installation (up to the reboot) works just as stated in the manuals. After the reboot, things aren't so clean:
sim> log t20.txt Logging to file "t20.txt" sim> d wru 006 sim> att tu c:\temp\tops20_v41_i.tap sim> set rp rp06 sim> set cpu t20V41 sim> att rp t20.dsk sim> boot tu
