Abstract: DSP-8 is a collection of useful subroutines and conventions

for programming a small computer (the PDP-8 family, in this case),

which specifically facilitates the task of the diagnostic programmer in

creating diagnostics to test hardware peripherals for the system. Some

considerable thought has gone into the writing of the specifications for

the components of this package, and the experience of the authors in

writing maintenance diagnostic is the major basis of the choice of

available elements of this package.

Because the DSPS source can only be assembled by a PS/8 or OS/8

configuration, the ASCII paper tape offered is for DSP8P, a PAL3

assemblable source file for smaller configurations.
