I made a build that switches between the lights programs and the simH program, but you can't run them both at the same time without restarting the system because of the way each works with the lights. So, I made scripts to do the work. The lights program is called Deeper Thought. Here is my write up about how to get simH and Deeper Thought running on the same system http://vintagecomputer.net/browse_thread.cfm?id=663 Bill On Mon, Feb 10, 2020 at 1:41 PM Neil Cherry via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
I finally found the missing chip for my PIDP8 (I thought it was a ULN chip, it's not). And I've be successful at running advent on it (yea). I recall someone mentioning that there was one program that was a program that would basically exercise the display while it was running. Does anyone recall which program that might be? I won't have time to dig into the PIDP8 and actually learn to properly load from the display. At least not for a few more months.
Thanks
