disk file. Then on restart, that script will reload that saved state if
it finds the saved state file.
This is not identical to a KP8-I, in that it doesn’t require any
user-written PDP-8 code to run, which is why it’s optional: it’s
ahistoric with respect to the way the included OSes normally ran.
In absence of a hardware option like the KP8-I, a more accurate
simulation would only save the core memory state to a host-side disk
file and reload it on simulator re-start. You can get that behavior atop
the current mechanism by adding commands like the following to each
bootscript you want to affect:
EVAL HLT
DEP L 0
DEP AC 0
DEP DF 0
DEP IF 0
DEP MQ 0
