I just finished posting the following to, alt.sys.pdp10, and I figure some
others here might be interested in the instructions on how setup the
emulator. Note, at this time ts10 works best under Linux. Work is being
done to get it working on other UNIX varients, but at this time Linux is
your best bet.
The following is a *Rough Draft*, but it should be enought to get a system
setup.

Installation of TOPS-10 v7.03
I'm guessing this might be of use to some people, and it can serve as a
starting point to a better document. I'm sure it's in need of corrections,
as I've doubts as to wether or not the system is coming up right.
The following procedure is mainly based on stuff Greg Satz, Parag Patel,
and Timothy Stark have posted. I'd figured out a lot of this, but this
looks a lot better than what I'd done :^)
Based on Mark Hittinger's comments about the RIB errors which I'd noticed
in my first install, I've used 1990 as the year in the following and it
seems to have not had any problem. I believe others have done this giving
the correct date without any problem though.
STEP 1.
First get the following tapes from
http://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com
> BB-X138B-BB KS Bootable TOPS-10 v7.03 tape
> BB-X140B-SB TOPS-10 v7.03 Monitor sources
> BB-X128B-SB TOPS-10 v7.03 w/sources #1
> BB-FP63A-SB TOPS-10 v7.03 w/sources #2
> BB-FP64A-SB TOPS-10 v7.03 Tools w/sources
> BB-X130B-SB CUSP w/sources
You can also get the sources for the ts10 emulator here.
STEP 2.
Apply the following patch.
diff -c -r1.1 system.c
*** pdp10/system.c 2001/02/27 14:17:06 1.1
--- pdp10/system.c 2001/03/11 22:01:50

}
text7[p] = 0;
! sprintf(text, "%012Lo ('%s' '%s')", data, text6, text7);
return text;
}
--- 120,126 ----
}
text7[p] = 0;
! sprintf(text, "%012qo ('%s' '%s')", data, text6, text7);
return text;
}

// int reqBoot = FE_P0_DIAGNOSTIC_PREBOOT;
// int reqBoot = FE_P0_BOOTCHECK2_PREBOOT;
! uint8 inBuffer[0777 * 5];
! int36 inBlock[0777];
int36 idHom = util_PackedASCII6("HOM");
int36 dAddr36;
int36 data36;
--- 348,355 ----
// int reqBoot = FE_P0_MONITOR_PREBOOT;
// int reqBoot = FE_P0_DIAGNOSTIC_PREBOOT;
// int reqBoot = FE_P0_BOOTCHECK2_PREBOOT;
! uint8 inBuffer[01000 * 5];
! int36 inBlock[01000];
int36 idHom = util_PackedASCII6("HOM");
int36 dAddr36;
int36 data36;
STEP 3.
Startup the emulator.
