This is a collection of software for use with the SDS simulator
provided with the simh simulator system. It is provided in hopes of
exciting the interested of someone curious about computing during
the 1960-1976 period.
It includes a cross assembler used on a Mac to produce the included
Symbol assembler. It also includes a tool set to help manage and
manipulate this stuff; things like a binary object dump, a namelist
program and a program to retieve files from a PAL library file.
The SDS 900 Series computers were initially paper tape and card unit
systems and the software in this kit predominatly uses these devices.
The SDS programs in the kit were obtained from files copied from a
9-track tape that was created by the SDS PAL library back in 1982.
This file is from the bitsaver.org archives, M300-19820128.tap.
The SDS basic paper tape loader program, 850644, is included in the kit as
an example to experiment with the SDS recon and Symbol assembler
programs.

The work to put this kit together was done on a Mac. I don't know what
will happen using this stuff on other platforms
