CH10 on a KL10
I'm pretty sure that the MC KL10 was attached to the CHAOSNet via the I/O -11; there was never a PDP-10 I/O bus CHAOSNet interface on it. (Not that one couldn't have been done, of course.) Jnc (talk) 10:06, 24 August 2021 (CEST)
- That is consistent with archived source code. AI and MC both had an IO-11 front end; AI's through the Rubin 10-11 interface, MC's through DL10. Only ML had an IO bus device called CH10. DM had no Chaosnet. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 11:17, 27 October 2021 (CEST)
- The article page says "SIMH's KA10 and KL10 simulates a CH10", but this is only for emulation, and mostly because there is no DL10 support in the emulator Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 11:20, 27 October 2021 (CEST)
Spelling
The current spelling (variations are mostly a case of what to capitalize) is 'Chaosnet', per AIM-628, the formal, published documentation. Although now that I look, most original documents seem to use the same. Jnc (talk) 13:36, 27 April 2022 (CEST)
VAX/VMS
I found Symbolics' implementation of Chaosnet for VAX/VMS on MIT tapes. It's unclear whether MIT and/or Symbolics DKI would allow this software to be released publicly. I'm trying. Meanwhile, here's an installation guide: https://usermanual.wiki/Document/998035SymbolicsVAXVMSChaosnetInstalltionRel6May85.4170387717.pdf Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 09:35, 22 August 2022 (CEST)
