I tried this on my 11/34 and I see the same behavior,
the 'E' is missing.
The string printed according to the diagnostic listing is <CR><LF>"END
PASS "
(this is in ZDLDC0, I don't have a listing fro ZDLDI0).
I was looking at the
listing for ZDLDC0 too. I am wondering if the
deficiency in the diagnostic is not allowing padding to account for timing
between CR & LF. It looks like the code doesn't allow for that anyways. Just
a wild guess.
I ran this as well, behavior is similar. With TTY
output enabled I see the
same line repeated over and over again (looks like ascii sequence
0x00..0xFF) as fast as the terminal will run.
I thought it odd that it includes
that entire range. Control characters are
sure to put many terminals in a state where further printing won't happen.
With TTY output disabled I see a line with just a
'*' printed and the bell
rings about every 30 sec or so. I don't have a listing for this
diagnostic, but this behavior is pretty typical of a 'pass' indicator.
Ahhh, ok. I didn't see anything in the diag manual saying a "*" was a
typical pass indicator. Now I know :)
I think you have a working system!
Thanks Don, I
really appreciate it. Definitely makes me feel more confident
in the machine. On to the LincTapeII :D
