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.

Instructions for Running Diagnostics
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
### Tests 1-12
|
|
|
|
Instructions for running "TEST 1 - BRANCH" through "TEST 12 - JUMP" come from the
|
|
[MAINDEC USER REFERENCE MANUAL, OCTOBER 1973](http://archive.pcjs.org/pubs/dec/pdp11/diags/MAINDEC_User_Reference_Manual_Oct73.pdf),
|
|
p. 19:

MAINDEC-11-D0AA to D0LA (NEW NUMBER - DZKAA to DZKAL)
|

T1 to T12

ABSTRACT
|
|
|
|
This is a group of 12 tests that incrementally test and isolate simple
|
|
malfunctions of the PDP-11. The tests should be run in the indicated
|
|
numerical sequence. The sequence is:
|
|
|
|
1. Branch
|
|
2. Conditional Branch
|
|
3. Unary
|
|
4. Unary and Binarys
|
|
5. Rotate/Shift
|
|
6. Compare (Equality)
|
|
7. Compare (non equality)
|
|
8. Move
|
|
9. Bit Set, Clear and Test
|
|
10. Add
|
|
11. Subtract
|
|
12. Jump
|
|
|
|
REQUIREMENTS
|
|
|
|
PDP-11
|
|
|
|
STORAGE - Use all of 4K [words] except 17500 - 17776 (Reserved for boot and
|
|
absolute loader)
|
|
|
|
LOADING - Absolute Loader
|
|
|
|
EXECUTION TIME - 246 min, depending on test - Bell will ring
|
|
|
|
STARTING PROCEDURE - Start and Restart at 200
|
|
|
|
PRINTOUTS - No
|
|
|
|
SWITCH REGISTER OPTIONS - No
|
|
|
|
The code for "TEST 1 - BRANCH" is not terribly exciting. Most of its 8Kb length is filled with these
|
|
three repeated instructions:
|
|
|
|
000210: 060100 ADD R1,R0
|
|
000212: 000401 BR 000216
|
|
000214: 000000 HALT
|
|
|
|
until it reaches this point:
|
|
|
|
014202: 005267 000022 INC 014230
|
|
014206: 001006 BNE 014224
|
|
014210: 012737 000207 177566 MOV #207,@#177566
|
|
014216: 105737 177564 TSTB @#177564
|
|
014222: 100375 BPL 014216
|
|
014224: 000167 163750 JMP 000200
|
|
014230: 000000 HALT
|
|
|
|
where it increments a zero-initialized word. When the word wraps around to zero again, it will output a BELL
|
|
character (with bit 7 set; I'm not sure why) to the machine's display terminal, and then run the test again. If a
|
|
BR instruction fails to branch for some strange reason, then in theory, the machine will fall through to a HALT
|
|
instruction, and the test will halt.
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|

|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|

|
Thanks to the efforts of person(s) unknown, additional paper tape images have been uploaded to
|
|
[bitsavers.org](http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/bits/DEC/pdp11/papertapeimages/). It's not super organized,
|
|
so for now, I'm just going to pick out selected tapes and archive them here.
