UA11 boards

Hi, I know it’s been a while (a long while) since I last posted about ordering new UA11 boards. I just placed an order for 25 boards. To get the best price I did a “4 week turn” which means that I should be receiving the boards by the end of January. I’m only doing bare boards this time, so

To all readers/followers of this website - for those who love classic/vintage computers - I want to wish all the best of the holiday season no matter what your beliefs. In this day of political correctness it is simply to acknowledge Mother Nature's transition from fall to winter and we should

Re: Has Anyone Written PDP-8 .XOR. Code Using the MQ Register (Without the EAE)?

One more factoid: Many who have DECtape drives do not run them at the final spec of relevant ECOs. The TD8E will work quite as well as it can on the hardware side, but only if you perform all lf the ECOs [or equivalent]. Some are volunteering their time to help document [and in some instances

Re: Has Anyone Written PDP-8 .XOR. Code Using the MQ Register (Without the EAE)?

Steve Gibson talks about XOR on the PDP-8 here: https://www.grc.com/pdp-8/isp-musings.htm In summary, Steve uses this condensed code using "carryless addition" for XOR: CLA/ clear accumulator (AC) since all we have is add! TAD ArgOne / add (TAD) ArgOne to the just-zeroed AC AND

Re: Has Anyone Written PDP-8 .XOR. Code Using the MQ Register (Without the EAE)?

Here's the best I've got, Bob: ARG1, 5252 ARG2, 2525 XOR, CLA TAD ARG1 /~ARG1 & ARG2 CMA AND ARG2 MQL /STORE IN MQ TAD ARG2 /ARG1 & ~ARG2 CMA AND ARG1 MQA /MQ OR AC -> AC /RESULT IS IN AC You can also add them and subtract two times the arguments ANDed together, but I haven't played with
