These are the standard .mu files I know about. These appear to be compatible with the Wilson compiler, decus-8-804 and not the simpler format of decus-8-152. The Edinburgh music compiler and runtime were obtained from: http://history.dcs.ed.ac.uk/archive/pdp8/ProgrammesAndManualsList.html ** The Binaries ** 54.bin is built from 54.pal, the relatively hideous source code from http://history.dcs.ed.ac.uk/archive/pdp8/54.txt 56.bin is a larger binary from http://history.dcs.ed.ac.uk/archive/pdp8/56.asc It appears to be a memory dump of 54.bin after it has been run, but with additional code and data from locations 01600-04200. 61.1.bin is the binary from http://history.dcs.ed.ac.uk/archive/pdp8/61.1.asc It is identical to 54.bin, except for the corruption of the "U" in the "MUSIC COMPILER/2" sign-on. 61.2.bin was from http://history.dcs.ed.ac.uk/archive/pdp8/61.2.asc It was identical to 56.bin. ../maple.mu-pb ../music1.bin ../music2.bin ../music3.bin These appear to be dumps of all of memory. Each is different from the others. ../muscmp2-pb is presumably the compiler binary. Don't have source or even know how to work the thing. ../musex-pb is the binary tape image of the music runtime. ../musex.bin is built from musex.pal, and is identical to ../musex-pb. ../musex.papb is the concatenation of the musex.pa and musex-pb into a single paper tape image. I've renamed the archived music files to match what they are supposed to be, and added a comment to the front of most of them with more detail. I have created muscmp2.pal from 54.pal, removing excessive blank lines, adding a few comments, and suffixing it with the patch needed to create a binary equivalent to muscmp2-pb. asong.mu Seemed to work bachic.mu Seemed to work beamex.mu Seemed to work elevn4.mu Fixed missing "(" fbumbl.mu Prints "RANGE !" for everything 3 or 4 octaves up jamrum.mu Fixed several typos lchica.mu Seemed to work ldanza.mu Seemed to work mendwm.mu Fixed spurious "Q" before "$" mozart.mu Seemed to work mzrt14.mu Seemed to work op130.mu Changed first change of key from '"=F' to '#=R' rwaltz.mu Seemed to work tliebp.mu Seemed to work tli.mu Seemed to work About Roland's tapes: musex.bin matches musex-pb, so musex.pal is OK. A newer version musex.new, includes operating instructions, but also a one line change. maple.mu-pb starts with a copy of musex.bin. maple.mu-pb is presumably some version of maple.mu. but we don't have source. music1.bin music2.bin music3.bin all start out like 54.lst. muscmp2-pb also starts out like 54.lst. 54.pal appears to be the correct "virgin" source for the compiler. muscmp2-pb and music1.bin are identical. music1.bin is bachic.mu, compiled. music2.bin is unknown. music3.bin is very similar to lchica.mu, compiled.
