Add XGP-11 as per recent ITS updates.

  1. Ensure PDP-10 emulator is new enough.
  2. New disk images needed to pick up ITS configuration updates. (Or add a few lines to CONFIG and reassemble ITS.)
  3. Remove old ten11 configuration from SIMH and add this:
    at -u ten11 line=0,10011
    at -u ten11 line=1,10021
  4. Start XGP-11 like this: tools/tv11/xgp11 -s1 -p 10021 localhost
  5. Read https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/its-manual/wiki/Printing#the-xgp-printer
  6. ???
  7. Profit!

The latest images should always be available here: http://hactrn.kostersitz.com/

I'm not sure about starting by default. The XGP-11 is much easier to start/stop after ITS has booted, so maybe not. Also, the user must grab some terminal and log in there as the XGP user. That is to load the XGP-11 code, and start the XGPSPL spooler job.

Most of my house is overrun with Legos, so it's hard to find a good glamorous spot. I'm glad you have found use for my exploded view. I kind of like my latest photo on Twitter, with switches, keys, and knobs to rival an IBM; get that if you like.

I know this is a bit older thread, but I am catching up on ITS again, I got the latest emulator images running. When I go and run
:stuff xgp on ITS I get this
image
When I put 777 at address 0 from the front switches on the PiDP-10 and press any character I only get the same message, so I seem to be missing something to start up the PDP-11 and the 10-11 interface. Are there more detailed steps available?
