Hi
I have some time scheduled to work on the PDP-12 at Update. It's
uncertain if the machine works at the moment, it has had some
intermittent problems, but if it does or we can get it working I would
like to get Space Wars running on the thing.
I have found source for a few versions for PDP-8 with LAB-8/e and for PDP-12:
http://www.chdickman.com/pdp8/spacewar/
http://www.rcsri.org/collection/pdp-12/
I'm not sure if any of the PDP-8 versions will run without porting and
I'm not even sure which assembler to use for the PDP-12 versions.
So, I'm hoping someone reading this has somewhat fresh memory of what is
needed to build and run space wars on a PDP-12.
Perhaps someone even has an assembled version.
We have LAP6-DIAL and means to transfer files to the PDP-12 over the
serial interface.
