Hello,
I'm a student interested in retrocomputing. That's why I started
programming PDP-8 assembly a few days ago (Debian basically delivers all
you need to do that, i.e. simh and palbart). One problem I have is the
documentation. All that I found is either only a reference for the
PDP-8 instructions or the documentation of PAL III assembler. The third
thing I had as reference was the source code of OS/278. All in all, very
incomplete. Now I learned about the "Introduction to Programming" by
DEC, written for and about the PDP-8. Unfortunately I was unable to find
a copy of it on the internet. Now I ask whether anybody of you has a
copy of it (machine-readable preferred). In Austria, DEC hardware
doesn't seem to have been very popular at that time, so documentation
isn't easily available, either (it's even quite hard to get VAXen,
fortunately I did).
Thanks in advance,
Andreas Krennmair
