There is one quite inexpensive on Ebay right now. Looks to be a match
for the system unit at the CHM as well. Maybe they need a spare. I
don't know if they want parts machines or not, but for the price it is
almost tempting to pick it up.

Has anyone written PDP-8 code for .XOR. that uses the MQ Register (when the

Thanks,

The MQ is standard on the PDP-8/E and up through the VT78 and the DECmates.
Not possible on the 8/L, but an easy option for the PDP-8/I and the PDP-12.
This could be a problem on the straight-8 [or LINC-8] with EAE though.
It's the only model where the SWP [MQA and MQL in the same instruction]

I'm not sure how to code it on the machine but I know
how to do it.
Take A AND B = C
2* C = D ( ignore carry )
negate D ( complement and add 1 )
A + B = E ( this could have been done first )
E + D = A XOR B
I think it needs 3 variables?
It works because the carries are the result of the AND of t
