SDF.ORG

A exclusive! You are invited to play on a *REAL* PDP-8/e running the TSS/8 monitor (TimeSharing System 8) pictured here. There is a user contributed tutorial here:

wiki.livingcomputers.org/doku.

To connect, ssh tss8@tty.livingcomputers.org

If you are unable to connect that means all 6 (yes, just 6) lines are in use. Remember, this is real hardware and there is NO EMULATION happening. It is the real deal! Enjoy!

@SDF Hope I didn't mess something up. Used LOGOUT and got back to dot prompt but couldn't figure out how to shut down the ssh session. Hope it kicks me off to let someone else use my line.

@cs ^BS will return to the monitor and then you can type LOGOUT or KJOB
