I have the latest trunk build installed on a unit with an inverted deposit switch on a Pi 3B and Trixie 64 bit.

Toggling the Single Step switch does not switch operating systems.  It just stops the running program.

This might be due to the cycle accurate code that was added.  What is the appropriate new switch to use to switch operating systems?

I have been playing with TSS/8 and the only System Managers guide I could find was dated July of 1971.  The startup on the version in the current build does not match the startup in the manual.  There is no prompt for the system message or whether to load XDDT.

LOAD, DUMP, REfRESH, START? START
LOGIN MESSAGE? Y
END WITH ALT MOOE:
CONGRAT'JLATIONS• YOU ARE NOW ON-LINE WITH TSS/8.
REPORT ANY PROBLEMS TO THE SYSTEM SUPERVISOR. $
LOAD EXEC DDT?


Where can I find the latest TSS/8 manual that matches the version in the latest release?
Also, in this version how to I change the system message?


Thank you,
