I've been restoring a PDP-11/05 recently and after replacing several
faulty ICs I have it mostly working. I've run into a bit of a problem
whilst running MAINDEC-11-D0NB (T14 TRAP TEST) though.
The failing instruction sequence is:
7200:?? MOV #6340,R0
7204:?? MOV R0,(R0)+
7206:?? CMP 6340,#6342
7214:?? BEQ 7220
7216:?? HALT
This halts at 7216 with:
? R0 = 6342
? 6340 = 6340
I tried this same set of instructions on a PDP-11/84 and also on Simh
and the result is:
? R0 = 6342
? 6340 = 6342
which is what the diagnostic seems to expect.
Firstly, I think this is a documented processor difference.
My PDP-11/05S , 11/10S manual, DEC-11-H05SS-B-D, in table 4-8,
programming differences reads:
OPR %R,(R)+
11/20: Contents of R are incremented by 2 *before* being used as the
source operand.
11/05 & 11/10: Initial contents of R are used as the source operand
11/35 & 11/40: (Same as 11/20)
So the halt would be expected on an 11/05.
Secondly, I have an original DEC listing of D0NB. On it I have a
written note (by me) "Bugs according to (UW Madison) ECE". But there
is no notation of that those bugs might be.
The source in my listing reads essentially the same as what you have
written (comments abbreviated to fit on my lines):
7200 012700 006340 MOV #K11,%0 ; SRC and DST BOTH R0
7204 010020 MOV %0,(0)+ ; SRC No Mem Reference
7206 026727 177126 006342 CMP K11,+#K11+2 ; Dest Is Mem Reference
7214 001401 BEQ .+4
7216 000000 HLT ; Failed %(0),(0)+
7220 010700 SCOPE
