We are having an issue (a progressive issue, at that), with the PDP-11/40
front end in our DECSYSTEM-2065. There are no diagnostics for the front
end on the diagnostics pack (KLAD), only a couple of programs for formatting
an RP06 disk pack. All other PDP-11 programs on the KLAD are tests for
the main processor's hardware prior to loading microcode and running PDP-10
programs to test it further.
The PDP-11 diagnostic suite, collectively called XXDP, comes in different
variants based on the actual processor (or processor family). We happen to
have a set of XXDP diskettes for the 11/34, but that chokes (as one might
imagine) on an 11/40.
So.
Does anyone on the list happen to have a copy of the 11/40 version of XXDP?
We would very much like to borrow and duplicate it if you are willing to
allow us to do so.
Thanks,
Rich
