TSS/8.24 running on a PDP-8/e!
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:
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!
This may be an interesting test regarding grown up abilities of retro computerists. (I wonder, how many will try to bring the system down. Statistics may be interesting.)
I tried this and text wouldn’t echo, and the login command they gave did not work (assuming that it was actually taking the characters, and simply not echoing them).
All I got was LOGIN PLEASE repeatedly for my efforts.
I just tried again and it worked for me. Indeed you have to blind type the login command to the . prompt (I tried pasting and I think that didn’t work) LOGIN 1000 LCML
Time passes…
