    Do you have any pointers to these manuals. I'd like to implement the RTX2000 (or 1A) for the open-simh[https://github.com/open-simh] project. I'm missing the rtx2000 hardware reference manual. It may have some useful information.

    Thanks for any info you can provide!

    This is for the RTX2010, the rad-hard version...

    TY, Clive! I think these series of RTX-2k spec sheets are about as good as it's going to get.

    JFAR_6_1 is a good article with opcode details, try looking here:
    http://soton.mpeforth.com/flag/jfar/vol6.html

    Another soft core:
    https://mpeforth.com/arena/rtxcore_brief.pdf

    I may still have paper copies of the RTX2000 launch data, but no idea
    where.

    I have a scan of the Harris RTX2000 Programmer's Reference Manual dated August 1898 if that's any use.

    That's what I call retro programming!

    No thanks, I have access to the pgmr's ref.

    I have posts starting at https://systasis.co/prelude/

    Posts are in the format of a commonplace book.

    Hi all,

    I have an old controller board that contains a Harris RTX-2000 processor. It's a PGA package, so not exactly breadboard friendly, but I thought someone here may want it. The board worked when removed from service in the 90's, so the processor is most
    likely good.

    This is a stack processor. I had a manual for it, but I sent it to someone in the comp.lang.forth group to scan perhaps a decade ago or more. I imagine it's online somewhere.

    Would anyone here want it? Priority for someone who may actually be able to use it, unlikely as that may be.

    Cheers,

    Dave


    Hi Dave,

    I know that this post is almost six years old but I was wondering if this is still available?
