When you say "software", what all do you mean? Do you have any additional
software which runs on the Imlac, which I don't have in my collection?
This is how I load my machine. I think that Bob has the serial loader
information
as well, and if he does not, the documentation is on Al's site:

When are you going to get your machine running Sellam?

LOL! Well, I still have my PDS-1D and I am happy that Bob is interested
enough to get the PDS-1 running. Note, the "D" stands for Dense, as in
a more densely packed set of hardware. In the PDS-1D, they put more
logic into the same physical space.
Yep, this is the Imlac I got from Tom after
seeing his PDS-1D at VCF.
I traded an old PDP 11 and some spare boards for the PDS-1(a?),
documentation and spare parts.
Don't tell Tom, but I definitely think you got the better end of the deal
;) Now I've
got to get a way to load the 4K terminal program into memory
quickly and reliably (my Imlac has had the core memory replaced with
SRAM), and interface it to one of my HP minis!
The PDS-1D I got came with the software and documentation for
boot-strapping it off the serial port. Maybe you can do it that way? If
I can find where I stored this stuff I can lend it to you if it would be
helpful. Sellam Ismail
