GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1

PROGRAM ABSTRACT

1.1.7 STRUCTURE OF PROGRAM
THIS DIAGNOSTIC OCCUPIES 14.5K WORDS OF MEMORY AND IS COMPATIBLE

WITH

BOTH XXDP AND ACT.
IT CAN BE RUN STANDALONE UNDER XXDP, AND CAN BE
CHAINED UNDER XXDP, ACT AND APT IN ACT MODE (SEE ‘‘CREATE
CORE
IMAGE
COMMAND BELOW FOR
DETAILS OF
CHAINING PROCEDURE).
PROGRAM FROM THE STANDPOINT
OF
THE
DIAGNOSTIC
USER,

IT IS A SINGLE
BUT
WE
HAVE
INCORPORATED
INTO
IT A CONTROL MODULE WHICH WILL LATER BE RELEASED
INDEPENDENTLY AS A DIAGNOSTIC SUPERVISOR.

WHEN THIS DIAGNOSTIC IS STARTED AT ADDRESS 200,

CONTROL GOES FIRST

THE
SUPERVISOR PORTION, WHICH WILL ASK CERTAIN ‘HARD CORE''
QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT.
THEN IT WILL ENTER COMMAND MODE, INDICATED BY
A
PROMPT
CHARACTER
(DS B>).
AT COMMAND MODE THE OPERATOR MAY ENTER
ANY OF SEVERAL COMMANDS AS DESCRIBED BELOW.

THE SUPERVISOR CODING FOLLOWS IMMEDIATELY THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST

BUT
THE
SUPERVISOR
LISTING
HAS BEEN SUPPRESSED
FOR
DISTRIBUTION.
A LIMITED DISTRIBUTION HAS BEEN MADE TO
FIELD

CODING,

GENERAL
SERVICE

OF
THE
SUPERVISOR ASSEMBLY LISTING, AND IT MAY BE CONSULTED IN EVENT
OF A SOF TWARE PROBLEM.

1.1.2 DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION
THE RLO1 DRIVE COMPATABILITY TEST IS A PDP-11

(LSI=11)

BASED

PROGRAM

THAT
WILL
TEST
INTERCHANGABILITY OF CARTRIDGES BETWEEN DRIVES.
THE
TEST PERFORMS WRITES, READS, OVERWRITES, ADJACENT CYLINDER
WRITES
TO
PROVE COMPATABILITY.
