Subject: PDP8 4K Memory test
Hello,
my name is marco. I`am a "new" PDP8 User.
I have an PDP8 with no software and documentation came with it.
Now im digging around the web for the MAINDEC-8E-D1AB-PB 4K Memory
Checkboard test.
Could somebody have an Image of that papertape for me?
Best regards
Marco
http://dustyoldcomputers.com/pdp-common/reference/papertapes/maindec-8e.html
states that they have a copy onsite, but not online.
http://www.chdickman.com/pdp8/ says that he has a copy of the
papertape too, but apparently not online
http://www.pdp8online.com/pdp8cgi/os8_html?act=dir;fn=images/os8/diagpack2.…
is the directory listing from an RK05 image at David Gesswein's site
(diagpack2.rk05), but it isn't in a papertape image. It is a newer
version than the one you asked for. It will run as is, if you can
load an image from an RK05. The "more" link
(http://www.pdp8online.com/pdp8cgi/os8_html/DHKACA.DG?act=info;fn=images/os8…)
can convert the existing image into some others, but what images you
can actually work with will determine whether or not this is helpful.
David's site probably has most, if not all, of the PDP-8 documentation
& schematics that you might need. Bitsavers has an absolutely huge
collection too.
Which "version" of the PDP-8 do you have and what modules (boards or
cards) are in it?
