Hi All, I'm in the process of building and restoring a PDP-8/e, and now I've got a second serial card I'd like to give OS/8 a try. I'm pretty sure I've got the boot loader entered properly, and the address + baud rates set correctly on the PDP and PC. When I start os8diskserver with "./os8disk -1 ../disks/diagpack2.rk05", it gives the welcome message. When I start the 8/e, It says: Booting... Done sending block 0 ^ and appears to freeze there. (the 8/e doesn't halt) I've got a RS-232 tester (blinky light box) hooked up to the port, which seems to indicate that nothing is being sent after Block 0 has been sent. Does anyone know what's going on, or what I'm doing wrong? Regards, -Tom
