This file contains some theories +and guesses. + +The PART * files are probably for KA10 and KL10. Some timestamps are +from 1971 which is long before the KL10. Others are from 1975 which +is right about when MIT would have gotten their first KL10. Some of +the .OLD files check KA10 behavior, such as K.OLD which runs an +overflowing AOBJN. KS10 passes all files except PART K. To run the +diagnostics, load and run PART A; it will run the next part +automatically until PART M which starts over. + +The PDP6 * files are for the PDP-6. + +The SAV files are KL10 & KI10 basic instruction diagnostics and can be +run with DECUUO. These work on a KA10: DEKAA, DEKAB, DEKAC, DEKAE, +and DEKAF. DEKAD and DEKAG work on a KS10, but not DEKAF. + +TST342 displays all characters supported by the Type 342 character generator.
