You might want to narrow your target. TOPS-10 was shipped with complete sources, and nearly every site, including inside DEC, made modifications -- some minor, some major. You'd have to start a separate code fork for nearly every TOPS-10 machine ever sold. Most, if not all of those changes were probably lost when the machines were scrapped, as they were the property of the companies that bought those systems. >Does version 2.18 exist?
