PDP-8/E Instruction Simulators for Other PDP-8's
8-479

Guy L. Steele, Jr., Brighton, Massachusetts

These subroutines allow the user of a PDP-8 other than an 8/E
to write programs or use programs intended for on 8/E. They
simulate the operation of the 8/E instructions BSW and the
standard MQ microinstruction combination, using one-word
JMS's. Thus, with JMS's substituted for micro instructions an
8/E program can run on any PDP-8.
