Hi all,
I'm cooking up a new interpreter for the PDP 8. It uses a C like language (C-)
and is really a project to get my head round the PDP 8 architecture. Note its
an interpreter not compiler :-)
I have recently got my hands on a wonderful working PDP 8/a, but it would be
nice to have some ac
Sounds a bit like SmallC or TinyC from back in the day.

I am also planning out storage for my 8a, I did not any way yet to load
tapes via the serial port ala PDPGUI for pdp11

Yes - similar to Small C :-) I've written several compilers/interpreters over
the years, so thought I'd give the PDP 8 a go. Its challenging because of the
lack of stack operations - but there are workarounds.

Thanks Vince - I knew about the RX emulators but not the serial disk - that
sounds interesting. Is there any documentation on that - I had a look at the
GitHub but seemed a bit sparse.
I can imagine the FFP8/A is hard to find and replicate. I can probably use
emulation - but its nice to check

Here's a link to a distribution for the E8 emacs-like editor I mentioned:
https://tangentsoft.com/e8/wiki?name=Home
Also, tangentsoft has a bunch of information about software development
related to the PiDP effort, including their version of the C compiler.

Great thanks. I'll have a go.
Thanks Vince - this is great. Working my way through the docs now :-)
For some reason my username is my email address. Can I change this ? I have a
username / name entered so not sure why this is showing.
Thanks
Ignore the above - it seems to have changed :-)

Yes; per the "Field Guide to UNIBUS and QBUS Modules". Also:
https://gunkies.org/wiki/RK611_disk_controller
reveals that the RK611 contains "five hex cards" (listed there).

Ok good. I am working through the replies, they will not go into the
dumpster.

So I'm working on restoring a Compaq DeskPro/XE system to allow me to
use the 5.25 floppy to copy files from my 3.5 floppies which will come
from my Windows 10 system so that I can extract on the Deskpro/XE using
teledisk the .td0 files that make up a RX50 floppy disk set so I can
load POS 3.2
“ QRST under DOSBOX on Windows10 can't properly access a floppy even if
"mounted" with a -t floppy extension.”
It is a dosbox thing really?
Win 10 comes with cmd so do you need to use dosbox?

Also you might just create a dos 6 bootable floppy and boos dos from the “A”
drive. Would thst work?

I read that Qrst was just a file format. To quote The QRST disc image format
was used by Compaq to distribute disk images of diagnostic software. The file
QRST.EXE or QRST5.EXE would be supplied with the disc images to write them to a
floppy drive.

Yep. I can probably burn a floppy for you if you put the programs and data
software somewhere i can get to it. I’ll try and then you can tell me where to
send the floppies.

Since, allowing for snail mail, it will probably be a week, i have a question.
Can you run the qrst.exe program at all? Was thinking that it might be possible
to extract the image to hard disk then use an image burning prog to write to
the floppy eith needing 16 bit drivers.

Hi Vince,
Could you please point us to the Makefile which "actually converts a disk
image" using SIMH to "automate the ritual of unistalling RK05 drivers and
replacing them with SerialDisk drivers"?
Thanks
