Short test programs for pdp 11/34

Hi Devin, if you have the M9312 boot strap card: do you see the console emulator prompt? If the machine HALTs on power-up, some micro coded diagnostic failed => bad! If you see the M9312 prompt, you can use PDP11GUI for further testing Then you can write own assembler programs and download paper-tape based diagnostics. Contact me for more.
