To load any of the DEC PDP-11 paper tapes listed below, you will need to use a [PDPjs Machine](/devices/pdp11/machine/)
with a [PC11 High-Speed Paper Tape Reader/Punch](/devices/pdp11/pc11/), such as this
[PDP-11/20](/devices/pdp11/machine/1120/basic/debugger), and then follow this three-step process:

This mirrors the multi-step "real world" process of loading paper tape software.
PDPjs simplifies that process: any "Absolute Format" tape (which should include all the tapes listed below) can be
loaded directly into RAM using the machine's **Read** button, replacing all the above steps with a single click.

any "Absolute Format" tape (which should include all the tapes listed below) can *also* be loaded directly into RAM
using the machine's **Read** button, replacing all those steps with a single click.
