@ -11,13 +11,16 @@ To load any of the DEC PDP-11 paper tapes listed below, you will need to use a [
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:
- "Read" the [DEC PDP-11 Bootstrap Loader](/apps/pdp11/boot/bootstrap/)
- "Load" the [Absolute Loader](absloader/) tape image, and read it with the Bootstrap Loader
- "Load" one of the "Absolute Format" tape images below, and read it with the Absolute Loader
- **Read** the [DEC PDP-11 Bootstrap Loader](/apps/pdp11/boot/bootstrap/)
- **Load** the [Absolute Loader](absloader/) tape image
- **Run** the Bootstrap Loader to read the Absolute Loader
- **Load** one of the "Absolute Format" tape images below
- **Run** the Absolute Loader to read the selected tape image
This mirrors the three-step "real world" process of loading paper tape software. Moreover, any "Absolute
Format" tape (which should include all the tapes listed below) can be loaded directly into RAM using the
machine's "Read" button instead of "Load". In most cases, that eliminates the first two steps.
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.
