I am fiddling with diskettes on my PDP-8/e. I booted COS-310 V8 and it
asked for a date. I tried lots of date combinations, and none were accepted.
Is this because I don't have an LTC installed?
COS MONITOR V 8.00
DATE?
.
ERROR IN COMMAND
.DA 10/04/74
BAD DATE
COS MONITOR V 8.00
DATE?
.DA 1/25/72
BAD DATE

I doubt that any PDP-8 family OS checks for licensing of any sort.
Back in those days, DEC used the format DD-MMM-YY for dates, so try
something like:
04-OCT-78
