Made some progress with DEC's "TRAP TEST", but looks like it still needs some work

Diagnostic Paper Tape Images

Thanks to the [iamvirtual.ca](http://iamvirtual.ca/collection/systems/mediadoc/mediadoc.html#papertape)
website, we have archived the PDP-11 diagnostics shown below. The tapes have been added to the
[Default PC11 Configuration](/devices/pdp11/pc11/), so that you can easily load them into any machine with a
[PC11](/modules/pdp11/lib/pc11.js), such as this [PDP-11/20](/devices/pdp11/machine/1120/panel/debugger/).
As noted for other [DEC PDP-11 Tape Images](/apps/pdp11/tapes/), these "Absolute Format" tapes can be loaded directly
into RAM using the machine's "Load" button instead of "Attach", allowing you to bypass the usual three-step process of
loading the [Bootstrap Loader](/apps/pdp11/boot/bootstrap/) in order to load the [Absolute Loader](/apps/pdp11/tapes/absloader/)
in order to load the desired tape.

The above tapes have been added to the [Default PC11 Configuration](/devices/pdp11/pc11/), so that you can load
them in machines such as this [PDP-11/70](/devices/pdp11/machine/1170/panel/debugger/).
As noted for other [DEC PDP-11 Tape Images](/apps/pdp11/tapes/), any "Absolute Format" tape (which should include
all the tapes listed above) can be loaded directly into RAM using the machine's "Load" button instead of "Attach".
In most cases, this eliminates the first two steps.

### Test 13
MAINDEC-11-D0MA (NEW NUMBER - DZKAM)
T13
ABSTRACT
This is a test of the JSR, RTS and RTI instructions. It is also the
first time the Register 6 has been "PUSHED and POPPED".
REQUIREMENTS
PDP-11
STORAGE - 0 - 5000
LOADING - Absolute Loader
EXECUTION TIME - 2 min - Bell will ring
STARTING PROCEDURE - Start and Restart at 200
PRINTOUTS - No
SWITCH REGISTER OPTIONS - No
### Test 14
Note that, as the instructions indicate, this test will fail on a PDP-11/45 or newer machine, because
it expects the MUL instruction to trap.
MAINDEC-11-D0NA (NEW NUMBER - DAKAA)
T14 TRAPS
ABSTRACT
This is a test of all operation and instruction that cause traps.
Also tested are trap overflow conditions, oddities of register 6,
interrupts and the reset instructions.
REQUIREMENTS
PDP-11/20, 11/05, 11/10
STORAGE - 0 - 17500
LOADING - Absolute Loader
EXECUTION TIME - Function or core size - Bell will ring
STARTING PROCEDURE
Start and Restart at 200 for a 4K System
202 for an 8K System
204 for a 12K System
206 for a 16K System
210 for a 20K System
212 for a 24K System
214 for a 28K System
PRINTOUTS - No
SWITCH REGISTER OPTIONS - No
This program should not be used to test 11/40 and 11/45's.
