The Design of a Data Acquisition Operating System for the DEC PDP8.

Abstract

This report contains the details of the development of an unbuffered, fixed task, data acquisition operating system for a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP8 minicomputer. As the PDP8 is one of the oldest minicomputers in wide use, and because of its straight-forward architecture, it is felt that a detailed description of the operating system might help to isolate the design process more so than would the discussion of a similar system on a more sophisticated processor.
