Abstract: Be sure the PDR: (version 1.1) and the PDP: (version 1.2)

handlers are active in your OS/8 system, otherwise, activate them by

using OS/8 BUILD.

Check whether RSTS/E is running on the connected PDP-11 computer,

otherwise, the connection can not be established.

Transmission can be accomplished between any peripherals of the two

computers. The only limiting factor is the timing of the PDR: Handler,

only the PDP-8 OS/8 system can control the transmission procedure.

When reading a file from the PDP-11 computer the PDP-8 waits about

30 secs for the first character and about 8 secs for the other ones, when

timing expires the handler interprets this as an 'end-of-file' condition.

When writing to the PDP-ll there is no timing at all.
