Load/Verify Utility for KMC11

The KDPLDR utility is designed to manage the KMC11-A auxiliary processor on UNIBUS-based PDP-11 systems, specifically for the KS10 (2020) processor. Its primary functions include:

• Control: Starting, stopping, and master-clearing the KMC11 synchronous-line controller.
• Microcode Management: Loading and verifying microcode in the KMC11's volatile control memory.
• Operational Control: Initializing or halting DDCMP on the DUP11 synchronous lines controlled by the KMC11.

The manual details various command switches (e.g., /AUTO, /LOAD, /VERIFY, /START) and includes an extensive list of hardware, software, and user error messages, providing appropriate corrective actions for each.
