As already seen in another postig: You have a problem with parity. The
Teletype ignores the 8th bit - your PC doesn't (yet).
The PDP8 software BTW ignores parity, too - as far as I know.
But when they ask for input, they usually know only UPPERCASE.
I use minicom or picocom unter Linux. With Minicom I have some problems
under OS/8 where it clears the screen after each DIR output...
You can also use "cat file > port" to load paper tape images.
I have a script that expects RIM loader and then loads a modified BIN
loader and a BIN file in one run without touching the PDP8...
