The 8I is up and running and the paper tape is now going.. I'll try FOCAL
and BASIC before playing with OS/8...
but.
What is (these are on paper tape):
1) DEC X-8 (large paper tape.. I think more than 1)
2) PT/8 ???? (Many tapes... but I have no idea what it is)

Congratulations!

An "exerciser" or diagnostic program. This one was installed in core during
the last stage of production at the factory. If you had bought a PDP-8 new,
you would be able to take it home, set it up, turn it on, and see X-8
start running where it had left off.
2) PT/8 ???? (Many tapes... but I have no idea what it
is)
I don't know.
