Subject: Re: Help - Is there a paper tape BASIC for a PDP 8/S
4k core only.
#1) I have no disk.
#2) I did not think OS/8 was compatible with the Straight 8/ 8/s instruction
set incompatibilities.
If it is compatible then I will actively seek a DF32 and interface.

so I am hoping
to find a BASIC that will run on my 8/S in binary form.
Why cant you run OS/8, just because of a lack of enough core memory?
-Lawrence LeMay
A) Does this even exist?
B) Is it on the Web?
Thanks, this 8/S is proving to be lots of fun.
BTW: I just got this message on my PDP tonight:
"Congratulations!! You have successfully loaded 'FOCAL' on a PDP 8/S
computer."
Yippee!
