### About ITS
|
|
|
|
ITS, the Incompatible Timesharing System, is an operating system for
|
|
the PDP-10 computer family. It was written by hackers at MIT in the
|
|
1960s. The MIT site was shut down in 1990, but enthusiasts continue
|
|
to operate ITS systems to this day.
|
|
|
|
### Building it from scratch
|
|
|
|
This repository contains source code, tools, and scripts to build ITS
|
|
from scratch.
|
|
|
|
1. First, magnetic tape images are created from files in `src` and
|
|
`bin`. There are two bootable tapes, and one tape with files in
|
|
DSKDMP backup format.
|
|
|
|
2. Then the tapes are used to create a file system on an RP06 disk and
|
|
populate it with a minimal system, and also source code.
|
|
|
|
3. Finally, the system is booted from the disk, and MIDAS is invoked
|
|
to assemble ITS from source code.
