   so I am hoping
to find a BASIC that will run on my 8/S in binary form. 
Why cant you run OS/8, just because of a lack of enough core memory? 
4k core only.

#1) I have no disk.
#2) I did not think OS/8 was compatible with the Straight 8/ 8/s instruction
set incompatibilities.

If it is compatible then I will actively seek a DF32 and interface.

 A) Does this even exist?
 B) Is it on the Web?

 Thanks, this 8/S is proving to be lots of fun.

 BTW: I just got this message on my PDP tonight:

 "Congratulations!! You have successfully loaded 'FOCAL' on a PDP 8/S
 computer."

 Yippee!
