Are these patches discussed below only for patching SIMH to fix problems with it? Or are these fixes that are for actual PDP hardware implementations of RSTS?

Thanks for this Paul.

There's also your NSP1.PAT patch to improve data flow using RSTS/E V10.1 under SIMH (posted to the SIMH mailing list in May 2016).

You'll find it and the NSP1.TXT describing it in my repository at

https://github.com/agn453/RSTS-E

in the "decnete" subdirectory.

I've recently joined HECnet and will be making some of my updates available soon.
