   * Q: How was that fixed? A: With help from the simh github team, found a part of ONCE that was using a fullword quantity before its page had been mapped; it set the interval timer to zero, which acted differently on NetBSD than on the others.   * Q: How was that fixed?

   * Q: Working now?  A: No, the login got immediately zapped.  The code to change from super-SHUT to plain SHUT was inside an ''IFKMC'' conditional.  Fixed.   * Q: Working now?  A: No, the login got immediately zapped.  The code to change from super-SHUT to plain SHUT was inside an ''IFKMC'' conditional.  Fixed.
 +  * Q: What about DZ11 support? A: When ''DZKON'' is enabled, login at the console is done by simply hitting RETURN.  The DZ11 lines respond to telnet by echoing characters, but no logins.
   * Q: Now what?  A: Can get logged in, but attempts to ''.RUN MTA:TITO.SAV'' are failing.  The same tape can be read by TOPS-10 using the ''COPY'' command, but not by the ''RUN'' command.   * Q: Now what?  A: Can get logged in, but attempts to ''.RUN MTA:TITO.SAV'' are failing.  The same tape can be read by TOPS-10 using the ''COPY'' command, but not by the ''RUN'' command.
-  * Expected output: +  * Q: Run ''TITO'' from disk? A: Modified ''ONCDSK'' to allocate and create empty ''SYS:TITO00.SAV''. Used TOPS10 to put ''TITO'' there via FILDDT.  
- +  * Q: Did that work? A: No ''TITO'' appeared to be hung, but it was looking for position 1 which was not on the  ''TITO'' tape.  Giving it the argument ''301-e'' worked, was able to restore from both savesets in less than one minute each. 
-  !get mta:tito.sav +  * Q: What about BOOTS? A: ''gfd ks2020'' and ''run ksfefs.sav'', but that overwrote the wrong pages. 
-  !start +  * Q: Why? A: ''DSKCHR'' was returning a pointer to the RIB of ''FEFILE.SYS'' instead of length and starting page number. 
-  TITO (V16.3) HERE AT 4257 +  * Q: Workaround? A: Modify ''REFSTR'' to return hard-coded pointer to the FEFILE.SYS data pages. 
-  SYSTEM X14 +  * Q: **Current status**?  A: Can load TYMCOM-X from disk and login on the console.  DSKCLN does not run automatically, otherwise all is well (for logins on the console only).  **X14** is a two-pack system, **X17** is a three-pack system.  **X95** is a single-pack system for debugging DZ11 logins.
