Short question:
How do I transfer LINCtape images back to tape on a PDP-12? Ideally there
is some binary program to load via papertape to format a tape and recreate
it with data transfer over the console serial line.

I was thinking to write a version of dumprest for my LINCtape drives,
but since my PDP-12 isn't that far along yet, I haven't gotten to it.
There seem to be a couple of formats that were frequently used, and a
third lesser used format. One of the issues is that you have to go into
maintenance mode, as far as I can tell, to determine the size of the
block you just read into memory.

It seems so.
But I would need just a restore version of the program, capable of
formatting the tape first.
I'm wondering if I am the first who wants to create LINCtapes from an
image. There is a mention of using SerialDisk with the PDP-12 (a modified
version by cjl), but I can't locate it :-(

I folded in the SerialDisk changes from Bob and from CJL back in
January, as well as the new boot loader from Doug and various other
fixes in February, including support for systems without the KIE
instruction. Kyle approved and merged my pull requests, so that should
all be there for you at Kyle's github:
https://github.com/drovak/os8diskserver
The current version should have no problems with the 8/I or with the
PDP-12. (Maybe even the straight-8, but I can't remember checking if it
is "increment and rotate" clean. Doug might know.)

I think he used a custom controller.
I have several TD8E controllers, but the TU56s are wired for the TC08, and
one unit for the TC11.

Thanks. I've seen this, but the doc/comments apparently don't reflect the
changes and modifications so I was thinking that this is the unpatched
version.

on a "per commit" level.
If "RES/E" doesn't report version "I", you aren't running the
latest.
(Kyle's code was through "E", Bob's code was "F", CJL's
code was "G"
and "H", and my KIE fix is "I".)
I also have lying around somewhere a bootable SerialDisk image I made
with LINCtape drivers, which I hope to actually run on my -12 someday.
CJL had some ideas about a SerialDisk for PQS?8 and other non-OS/8
operating systems, but I haven't seen any code for that. (I also
disagree with his ideas about the need to switch to 128-word blocks.)

With it still wasn't great. Code I used depended on the databreak interface
board I made for formerly online PDP-8. Being slowly reworked to get rid of
the obsolete java front end and dependance on a parallel port which my new
server didn't have so will be back online at some point.
Currently I use a beaglebone that connects in place of the TD8E. Works
better but code gets confused at times with errors. Really needs a rewrite.
Also doesn't like most of the LINC-8 tapes I have. Haven't had time to
figure out why.

Here is a program I wrote for reading/writing tape images via XModem
protocol for my PDP-12, and another for comparing two linctapes.

I probably used LAP-6 or DIAL to do the assembly - I

It seems you didn't notice that I included two separate programs in my

I had noticed the two programs, and have translated them both.
The grep-like output you include does help clarify the confusion I was
suffering when I wrote. I later figured out that what was actually
confusing my PAL code was that I had messed up translating the instance
at 0215.
The PAL style assembler assembled that line as if it read
TAD [16 .
which says to OR 0016 and the current location counter, then make a
literal, then make a TAD instruction referencing the literal. Which
basically filled the slot at 0161 with rubbish, but generates the
correct "1161" instruction. The two later references generated a
literal elsewhere, and their code was therefore flagged as incorrect
when the binary diff was done.
The binary diff was against the assembled octal from column 3, and
therefore is missing the literals (and thus always flags them all as
different).
Anyway, the short version is there was never anything wrong with your
LAP/DIAL output, but I was confused for a bit.
Thanks again!

I *thought* I had tested it. ;)
But, as it turns out, WDFLSH is only called from one place, and is only
called when the accumulator is 0 (and probably the link bit is zero
two), so while this is definitely an error in coding, at first blush I
don't think it affects operation of the program.

It seems you didn't notice that I included
two separate programs in my
previous post:? XMTAPE and CMPTAP? ;)
I did, and I have found an error ;-)

0276? 0362 1073 0073???????? TAD XMCNT?? [ IF COUNT==128.

Cool! I was able to recover the code and convert it into a more modern PAL
dialect. Your listings also don't display the many literals that were
generated on page zero (except sort of implicitly).

Probably not a bad idea. Here's a directory for my work on Jay's stuff,
and also a snapshot of the SerialDisk stuff configured for PDP-12 and
LINCtape:

It's not really a web page, but it is something you can fetch (and
update) with SVN, which is much easier.

This is fantastic, thanks :-)
I hope this will help us in bootstrapping the PDP-12. At least I would
like to have a tape with all the diagnostics.
For now, we are at least able to load programs with the BIN loader over
the serial line with currently 9600 Baud. We need to get the second line
working for SerialDisk.

Next step is bringing up SerialDisk.

Speaking of which I have a couple of boxes of Linctapes from a pdp12
system that was used in a college. Is there any value in getting the
data off them?

I'd say yes :-). It's a bit of a pain to do the imaging, but storing
the images has gotten quite affordable. If you've got a working pdp12
you could try to curate the content, but that will likely be hard to do
well. Just saving the content is easier.
I maintain an archive of DEC software for the PDP8 and PDP12. So far,
nearly every resource I've tapped into helps fill in something that was
missing. Even so, the coverage is still sitting at less than half the
known titles after quite a bit of hunting.

If you know they are all CS101 projects then may not be worth the time
but I mostly just read the tapes to be sure. Does cause my archive to have
a lot of marginal stuff to search through but hopefully the search will help
find what you are looking for. Not everybody agrees on what is uninteresting.

Some of it was research, the 12 had OSes like Dial and OS8V3D. Next time
we get together I'll give you a couple to check as I don't have a
DECTape transport anymore (I should, but I don't)

Looks like your .BN isn't my sites BIN loader conversion. Did you try mine
and it didn't work or you had already done your own before I added it?

I made my own extraction from the image, but it is the same as yours. I
had written my own little program just to learn understand the format of a
DIAL tape and the data from your site.
