SPECIALIZED SYSTEM SOFTWARE FOR INTERACTING DEC PDP-7 AND IBM 1800 COMPUTERS

Abstract

A collection of programs written for interacting DEC PDP-7 and IBM 1800 is described. These programs provide: Device support for interaction between 1800 and PDP-7; A serial-by-character logical file system on the 1800 disk (2310) for use by both computers; A file manipulation utility package; A file-oriented text editor running on PDP-7 used for preparing both PDP-7 and 1800 programs; Modifications to the assemblers of each computer to read from the logical file system; and A keyboard-oriented debugging package for the 1800. A (temporary) single-character full-duplex interface between 1800 and PDP-7 is also described.
