I have an 11/03 and could do a screen share and run your script. Contact me
off-list or on the ccmp discord.

For my LSI-11 simulator I developed an as accurate as
possible
implementation of the Console-ODT functionality as described in the "LSI11
PDP11/03 Processor Handbook" and the "Microcomputer and Memories
Handbook".
As might be expected from these handbooks, the description of the ODT
functionality is not a complete specification and consequently during the
development several questions arose on the reaction of ODT on the user
input, such as:
- What is the reaction on commands like "R0/<CR>RS/4@"? Will the last
opened
location be opened or the contents of the last opened location?
- What is the reaction on a RUBOUT at the prompt?
- What will be the value of the opened location when e.g. three digits are
entered and these three digits are then rubbed out and the location is
closed? Will the value of the last opened location be unchanged or will it
be zero?
- An address and a GO command can be separated by a semicolon. What is the
reaction if characters other than the "G" are typed after the semicolon?
- Etc., etc...
Is there someone in (the vicinity of) the Netherlands with a functioning
LSI-11 who would allow me to try out these commands or could anyone point
me
to someone who could facilitate that?
I developed a complete test script for all LSI-11 ODT commands and "all"
relevant situations and ideally I would like to carry out this test script
to get a complete specification of the Console-ODT functionality.
