Pdp-8 Instruction Test Eae

Summary This document outlines the testing procedure for the EAE (Extended Arithmetic Element) Type 182 hardware on a PDP-8 processor. The test verifies the divide overflow detection and the multiply/divide hardware by generating pseudo-random parameters for each test and comparing the hardware output against a software-simulated calculation. The document specifies the necessary hardware requirements, memory storage locations (0010 to 2551 octal), loading instructions via the Binary Loader, and the specific procedure for starting the test using the console switch registers.
