Marvin,
<I figured they were probably for the LSI-11 but beyond that, I didn't
<have a clue. I have several PDP computers including the 8i, 05, and
<23. Are these similar to the paper tape diagnostics for the PDP 8?
They are not like the PDP-8 tapes, though some similarity may exist.
They would be usable for the 23 if it has rx02.
<Also, is the disk format such that they have to be read on a DEC
<computer or can they be read on other machines? Thanks!
The dydp are RX02 so the answer is directly, no. if it was a dxdp set the
answer is yes as that would be RX01 (standard single density 8"). They can
be transfered to rx01(or tu58, rl01/2, rk05, magtape) and made bootable.
so if you have a working PDP-11 (most any) with RX02 you can make them rx01
and then readable by other systems, executeable is another matter as they
are written in PDP-11 code.
