Thanks for the
os78 source site - thats awesome! How does one normally get
these images onto a disk? I' not sure if the older PCs supported 8"FDD.
I would need something like Teledisk as well.
With earlier 8's which you can manually load code into I have dump
and restore programs you can use. On the VT78 their is no way I
know of to get code into it without a special ROM on the back.
The DECmate II (VT100 housing) has the ability to download code into
the PDP-8 through the terminal port via a special control sequence. I
haven't tried it on mine yet.
