+		KL10 CONSOLE INSTRUCTIONS
+
+
+Conventions:î____________
+
+Commands end with carriage return.  DELETE deletes the last character
+typed; deleted characters are echoed between backslashes.  CTRL/U
+deletes the line being typed.
+
+Numbers are octal.  36-bit numbers may be typed as two half-words
+separated by a space.  Negative numbers may be entered; thus -1 means
+36 1-bits.  In the following, <foo> is a symbol; don't type the angle
+brackets.
+
+To examine and deposit memory:î______________________________
+
+"EM <address>" types out the contents of the addressed location.  If
+<address> is omitted, the last address used is used again.  "EN"
+examines the last address used plus one.  "EM <first> , <last>"
+examines the <first> address through the <last> address, inclusive.
+Don't put spaces around the comma.
+
+"DM <address> : <contents>" deposits into memory.  You can omit the
+<address>, but not the colon, to re-use the last address used.
+
+Putting R and a space in front of a command repeats it, with
+typeout turned off, until you hit CTRL/C.
+
+The Switches:î_____________
+
+The left-most 16 switches are on the pdp11 panel.  Numbers have been
+affixed to indicate the pdp10 bit numbers.  The remaining switches are
+set by the "SW <octal value>" command.  "SW" alone types out the
+current setting of the switches.
+
+Running Diagnostics:î____________________
+
+Load the DEC microcode with the "P U.RAM" command.  Type "SM" to start
+the microcode.  To run DG series diagnostics, which run in the pdp11,
+type e.g. "P DGKAB.A11", then "SED".  To run other diagnostics, which
+run in the pdp10, type "P SUBRTN", then "P DDMMG" (for instance), then
+"STD" to start it.
+
+Stopping a Running Program:î___________________________
+
+Hit BREAK, then CTRL/C.  If the running program is in the pdp10, the
+"SP" command is needed to stop it.
+
+Powering the machine back on:î_____________________________
+
+Check for boxes with no lights on; their circuit breakers may have
+tripped.  Hit the DISK button to reload KLDCP.  If it doesn't reload,
+disk unit 0 may need to be powered on and off.  Type "RP0" to select
+disk unit 0.  Do "J KLINIT".  This loads the ITS microcode and
+configures memory and cache.  If you get a bunch of "ADR=xxx COR=yyy
+ACT=000" messages, some memory is hung.  Try resetting it.  (RESET
+switch is at bottom right inside front door of each memory.)
+
+Standard Tests:î_______________
+
+"J KLDIAG" runs a series of diagnostics to check out the processor.
+Switch 0 is raised to stop each diagnostic (at the end of the current
+pass) and run the next.  If it says "please load u code ver 73" do "P
+MBOX.RAM" then "HC".  The "E bus diagnostic enable switch" is a toggle
+inside the front door of the left-most bay, near the "DTE SWITCH
+PANEL" decal.
+
+To run memory tests, "P U.RAM", "SM", "PE0", "P SUBRTN", "P DDMMG",
+"STD".  Or, "P DGKBB.A11", "SED".
+
+Other Commands:î_______________
+
+"MR" does a master reset of the machine.
+
+"SM" starts the microcode.  Try this if you get "? UCODE HUNG",
+"? EM ERR", etc.
+
+"J NTSDDT" loads in an exec DDT from disk.
+
+A complete list of KLDCP commands is in an 8 1/2 x 11 printout
+labelled "KLDCP OPR" around somewhere in the machine room.
