I have the schematic in the PDP-8/L reference schematics. Isn't there a
copy of these on Highgate?

That'd be best, especially if you want to load software and don't have
a high-speed paper-tape reader.

No, but you can buy/make 20mA-to-RS-232 adapters. Also, I have very
successfully used DEC VT220 on my -8/L - it already has a 20mA connector
on the back. My current arrangement is to use my high-speed reader for
loading and my VT220 for running diags, playing games, etc., to save on
TTY paper.
