Yes, cookies are enabled. If I log in with UN/PW the stay logged in works. It's only with a Passkey login, that it doesn't.

The 30-day stay-logged-in checkbox doesn't work. I can log in via Passkey one day, and have to re-authenticate the next day. Is there a fix for this?

Great thanks for your input everyone. I have used PDP11GUI in the past along with the TU58 tool as well. I think I'll start there. Thank you.

How best to get started on this, do I need an assembler? Where to find a programming manual? Very experienced in programming, many languages, but never stepped into assembler.

Wow that's amazing. Thanks for sharing!

It'd be TOPS-20 for me, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

That's great! Other than the LEDs which we messed around with via code, frankly the keyboard from the VT-100 isn't that great. Clunky, terrible key feel, etc. So being able to use a new keyboard with it would be super. Nice job.

I used to write programs using BASIC-Plus-2 on TOPS-20 or BASIC Plus on RSTS back in the day (can't remember which) to experiment with the GIGI. The GIGI isn't an OS so there wouldn't be any way to emulate it on SIMH (unless I'm totally mistaken). The ReGIS Handbook (linked above) on page 1-4...

My hat is off to you for being able to get these to work. As someone who used these a lot back in the 1980s, I always considered them terrible. Had many problems with them even when the tapes and drives were brand new.

X2 on the DEC-20 day. Does that hardware run TOPS-20? Love to see one that did, in the orange color.

Just for fun I'd like to be able to access an instance of RT-11 running on one of my home servers, under simh. That server is already set up for remote connectivity as it also functions as my media server (using port forwarding on my router). I guess I'm wondering if there's a way to connect...

We had one of those at work, used it for printer sharing. For what it was it worked very well (at the time, Windows 3.0). Multiple users could send plots to a plotter and the Black Box device would switch between jobs (PCs) and correctly send plots to the single plotter.

I have a device named DECserver on my network as well. It runs RT-11 under simh and a media server. Didn't know there was a real hardware thing with that name!

None of that is along the lines of what I'm remembering, but thanks.

Possibly, see my update post just above.
