The RICM has the processor of their PDP-8/I functional after replacing
or repairing 38 Flipchip modules and the core stack. We have lots of
Dectapes that originally held data from a PDP-11, but nothing that is
bootable on the 8/I. We tried the TC01 bootstrap with one of the
PDP-11 tapes. It moves the tape to the first block and then gets a TIM
(Timing Error), so the TC01 and the TU55 is at least partially alive.
Can anyone supply a Dectape that would be bootable on this 4k machine,
or tell us the procedure for making a bootable Dectape?
