I've been playing with the 3 different operating systems and made a QUICK-START guide - mostly for myself, but I figure other lost-souls might benefit as well. Please feel free to make changes/corrections as desired. Maybe a form of the QUICK-START can be included in the online manual, which would almost certainly help those (like me) looking for quick answers. Enjoy!
PiDP-10 QUICK-START GUIDE
-------------------------
Notes on how to quickly boot-up, login, logout, & shut-down the various operating systems supported by the PiDP-10.
If you have hardware, set all switches to UP position, then set the lower row of switches to the operating system you wish to boot into:
NUM LOWER PANEL SWITCHES OS
0 UUU UUU UUU BLINKY (animates panel lights)
1 UUU UUU UUD ITS
2 UUU UUU UDU TOPS-10
020 UDU UUU UUU TOPS-20
When you power on the unit (pi), it will read the front panel switches and boot into the requested operating system. You can change to a different operating system at any time by setting the switches and restarting, or by using a terminal to stop & restart the OS.
Following is a quick-start for each OS. After turning on the system, open a terminal window and use the following instructions:

Quick note, for TOPS 10 there are accounts 100,100 and 100,101 (PW demo1 & demo2). These are generic user accounts. 100,100 has some sample programs to play with.

This is awesome -- THANK YOU!
I've yet to receive my Golden Ticket (Invitation to purchase) the PiDP-10 hardware, but set up my Pi 5 two weeks ago and have been struggling to make sense of the system commands .. I did manage to get ITS up and running, but am still having issues with some of the items you have clarified in your document. This should prove very helpful. I am unfamiliar with the DEC PDP-10 (but am an ex-PDP-11 system manager). I will print these off and laminate them to work with!

Thanks Rich! I believe I already had those listed in the TOPS-10 EXTRAS section, as well as some other accounts, though it probably wasn't obvious - pasting a text file to the forum appears to mess up the <tab> formatting. ;-) Any extra info or corrections are of course extremely welcome and encouraged!

Oops! Yes, that should read 0200, not 0020! My mistake.

There is a mismatch in the TOPS-20 panel switches:
020 UDU UUU UUU TOPS-20
either the number should be 200 or the switches should be UUU UDU UUU
or, it's quite possible that I have completely misunderstood the meanings of those entries.
BTW, is it normal that UP is Off and Down is On? My memory of the PDP11 was that they were the other way around. But, then again, the switches on the PDP 11 were of a completely different type.
