The paper tape images are here:
http://www.bitsavers.org/bits/DEC/pdp8/papertapeImages/set3/
The RICM also has an original set of the DECUS 8-213 ALGOL paper tapes, but
they are different from the ones on Bitsavers. I need to make images of
these tapes.
When you do, I can perhaps help with the differences, if they are not too
major.
Students at the UMN are trying to get ALGOL to run on
their PDP-12 so they
can run some benchmarking software.
We haven't been able to get DECUS 8-213 ALGOL working. Any help would be
appreciated.
I got to the "OPT-" prompt, but after I enter "R", the simulation
hangs,
repeatedly taking an un-serviced interrupt.
It would be helpful to know which of the seven images are re-initialization
or patches, and which are part of the compiler and which the runtime.
