I wrote an app that provides a reference to the PDP series opcodes, and some other information.

It's currently in the Apple TestFlight program for beta testing. Here's the link:


I would love it if you could try it out, and let me know of the errors I've made.

thanks!

p.s. it covers PDP-1, PDP-8, PDP-10, PDP-11 and Vax. 
p.p.s. There is another version for 8-bit CPUs like the Z80 here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/e3nSMedK

Hi John

I’m running the latest version of iOS on an iPhone 17. Test flight says I need to a later version of iOS.

Cheers, Shane

Maybe retry if you can? I submitted another build that uses iOS 18 as the minimum.

Thanks for testing!

If there aren't too many issues with the iOS version, I'll look at porting to Android.

Hello John.
Looking at the PDP8 instructions, I see that AND correctly gives details for page zero and current page. Other instructions such as DCA, TAD etc refer to page zero twice. I suspect one of the references should be to the current page.
