The MR78 was only used for the booter. I believe there were

OS/78 you need to find it on the net, then copy to RX01
formatted 8" floppy.

After some fiddling, it looks like the URL I was
looking for is
http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/external.php?type=RSS2&forumidsā¦
which will allow me to look at your stuff at the same time I look at
alt.sys.pdp8 and such on Google Groups.
Nice! Thanks, Vince. I will probably bookmark that so I can check it
from time to time.
I should probably make a post there about my new-to-me VT78. It
checks out so far, but I don't have a copy of OS/78 to do anything
"fun" on it yet. I was hoping someone here would respond to my query
about what's out there for the MR78 external ROM peripheral
(semiconductor-simulated high-speed papertape reader), but from the
silence, apparently not much.
