This document outlines the usage and functionality of the 'Basic JMP-JMS Test' diagnostic program for the PDP-8. The program is designed to thoroughly test the execution of JMP (Jump) and JMS (Jump to Subroutine) instructions. It provides details on loading procedures, starting addresses, operator actions, and error handling. The program occupies most of the memory and uses a specific set of tests to ensure the integrity of the instructions. In cases of failure, the program can be set to loop on the failing test to facilitate investigation with an oscilloscope.
