Here's what I get after I think I've load TSS/8 (maybe I'm missing something).  At the '.' prompt, I can hit return for a new line, but no other keyboard input is showing up.

Loading TSS/8 from the RS08 fixed-head disk...
/opt/pidp8i/share/boot/2.script-33> attach rf /opt/pidp8i/share/media/tss8/tss8_rf.dsk
%SIM-INFO: RF0: buffering file in memory
/opt/pidp8i/share/boot/2.script-34> attach ttix 4000
%SIM-INFO: Listening on port 4000

LOAD, DUMP, START, ETC? STAREERA
MONTH-DAY-YEAR: 02-24-75
HR:MIN - 16:26


.

Any ideas?

It is waiting for you to login.  It will not echo this as it prevents someone from seeing the PW.
Try "LOGIN 1,2 LXHE <or if you changed it then whatever you changed it to>

No problem.  Good to know you got in.  Have much fun.  I used TSS/8 as a kid in high school.  I really enjoyed it.  Brings back fond memories seeing the lights
