I previously created a Github repository for various DEC things, including updated
DECnet/E utilities. I thought that the RSTS patches I had posted in the past were there
also, but that wasn't the case.
I've added a "patches" subdirectory, which contains the patches I have
collected. I just added a new one, which fixes a bug encountered when running SIMH set to
be an 11/94. In that case (and possibly some other similar variations) RSTS tries to
figure out the line frequency and gets it wrong because SIMH executes much faster.
https://github.com/pkoning2/decstuff is the repository.

Thanks for this Paul.
There's also your NSP1.PAT patch to improve data flow using RSTS/E V10.1
under SIMH (posted to the SIMH mailing list in May 2016).
You'll find it and the NSP1.TXT describing it in my repository at
https://github.com/agn453/RSTS-E
in the "decnete" subdirectory.
I've recently joined HECnet and will be making some of my updates available
soon.

Are these patches discussed below only for patching SIMH to fix problems with it? Or are
these fixes that are for actual PDP hardware implementations of RSTS?

The patches I posted are mostly for both. The kdj11e.cmd patch is for a problem seen on
SIMH that probably can't happen on real hardware. The nsp1.pat file Tony mentioned is
certainly more likely on SIMH but I suspect could happen on real hardware also. In any
case, none of them will create problems on real hardware.
