 I took a little side trip...  I have Doug Ingraham's console serial device (CSD) running.  My PDP8 is now running OS8.  This has been one of my goals for a number of years now, ever since I had the basic PDP8 running.

I am running the console device at 115200 baud and the machine is about 16 time faster than a PDP8e.  So response times to a command are not bad.

Doug has been very helpful in debugging problems with getting this going,  Thanks Doug.
