I will check our uncataloged collection of paper tapes next week and see if there is
anything of use. Great work on that PDP-9 restoration!

Subject: Need PDP-9 Paper Tapes
The RICM has the processor of their PDP-9 working fairly well. We have most of the diags
for the processor on paper tape. We will make working copies of the tapes and also make
images to send to Bitsavers. We have the diag documentation for the TC59/TU20, but we do
not have the paper tapes. It would be possible to enter the source from the listing and
assemble it using Simh, but that would be a bit of work.
I know that it is probably wishful thinking, but does anyone have paper tapes of the
TC59/TU20 diags?
Paper tapes of the TC02/TU55 diags would be nice to have too.
We would eventually like to get an OS running on the system. It looks like the ADSS
Input/Output Monitor will run on our configuration, and maybe even the Keyboard Monitor.
Does anyone have paper tapes for ADSS or any other monitor that would run on this system?
Details of the paper tapes and manuals that we have are at the bottom of this page:
