Hi folks,
I have a PDP-8/e that I've been working on. I have completed construction of
AK6DN's RX01/02 emulator. I got to the step tonight where I was trying to boot an OS/8
disk image and nothing was happening. I realized that I do not have the bootstrap diode
board in my 8/e so begin the bootstrap triggered by the "SW" switch.
Does anyone have the program I can toggle in for the bootloader? What I found is somewhat
confusing. Here is a discussion on this topic.

It seems one fellow was attempting to edit/improve the bootloader of another fellow. I was
wondering if anyone has distilled this into something simple. At the moment, I care only
about booting from RX01-Disk0.
Any pointers greatly appreciated. Thanks
