Subject: RE: Need help with VTserver
[...snip...]
Using VTserver to transfer any "smallish" pdp8 software to a
PDP-11 and then *punch* on papertape would work, I guess.
Sorry for the addition to my own scribbling.
I even start to wonder if punching will work! I guess it will,
as long as the data/program is contiguous in memory. Punching
on the PDP-11 may know about Origin (not sure), but probably
does not have knowledge of Fields. So if the program is larger
than 4k (12-bit) words (spans more than 1 field) punching a
pdp8 program on the PDP-11 will fail.
Also, the PDP-11 has 16-bit words, whereas the pdp8 has 12-bit
words ... my doubts are increasing.
Would like to hear comments from others here!
- Henk.
