Paper tape and console where I/O Bus devices.
TM10B and RP10 disk would connect to both the I/O Bus and the DF10.
The DF10 would connect to the memory bus and the devices.
There could be more then 1 DF10 in a system and each DF10 could connect to up to 3 devices.
If this is KA10 then you missed the CH10 device.
I am not sure which KA ITS machines had a DTE10.

I'm thinking I should make the hardware diagram less detailed. I think it has become too cluttered.

larsbrinkhoff commented 5 years ago

I added CH10.

larsbrinkhoff commented 5 years ago

This one for the Dynamic Modeling PDP-10 is quite nice.
