PDP-8/E Instruction Test 2

This document outlines the MAINDEC-8E-D8BB diagnostic program, designed to perform extensive testing of the PDP-8/E computer. It specifically targets autoindexing, indirect addressing, and the DCA instruction, while also providing minimal coverage for interrupt, AND, TAD, ISZ, JMS, JMP, and processor IOT instructions. The program is organized into individual functional tests that can be isolated and looped for debugging purposes using an oscilloscope. It requires a PDP-8/E equipped with a teletype and assumes the standard binary loader is used. The guide provides step-by-step loading and starting procedures, along with instructions for error recovery and information regarding peripheral device requirements.
