Does anyone know what the switch register settings are for the PDP-8 disk
diagnostics (found on diagpack2.rk05 and others)?
In particular, the AJRL** series (RL01/02 drive exercisers). Normally the SR
is set to 0000 but when there's an error the program stops until a CR is
typed.
I want the diagnostic to just print out that error and keep running. Trial
and error might take a long time.
Without the source code there's no other good way except possibly to
single-step through the program and look for the OSR command (which may also
take a very long time).
thanks for any help.
