RK8E/RK8L Data Reliability Program

The RK8E/RK8L Data Reliability Program is a diagnostic tool primarily designed as an acceptance test to verify disk data transfers within the RK8E or RK8L disk system. It includes an 'Accept Mode' for verifying data transfer capabilities and a 'Manual Intervention Mode' for hardware debugging, which allows operators to select data patterns, transfer lengths, and addressing. The document provides information on hardware requirements (including PDP-8 family computers), switch register settings for controlling test execution, standard test procedures, and troubleshooting information.
