    This is basically just a fancy manual for the PiDP-1 emulator.

    The actual PDP-1 manuals are available here: https://bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp1/

    Don’t be tricked into thinking this is just a scanned pdf. Lots of pictures and resources like how to use OG paper tape and how to use a 2025 paper tape. If you are pdp curious this is the mouth of the rabbit hole.

      Yeah, this is by the PiDP folks — their most polished effort yet, and they’d already set a high standard. Love to see it.

      Hi, I'm not tricking anyone. The '2025' manual, if you care to scroll down through it, gives you a lot of quick-start information on how to program in assembly, Lisp and even C.

      That's not in the 1963 manual...

      BTW - no need to buy the replica hardware. The project runs just fine under any Linux, using a virtual panel!

        My apologies. English is not my first language. I am meaning to praise the quality of the site and is worth a view for any retro fan.

          Actually, I can say the same: My apologies. English is not my first language either. ;-)
