I got the ROM disassembly you pointed me to and took a look at it. Thanks, Ralph. You're right--it's WPS-8 itself that has the date/time routines that need patching. So now I'm looking for a WPS-8 disassembly, and if possible the source code, which I assume is in PDP-8 assembler. Is there a forum that PDP-8 folks hang out in where I could ask for leads? Thanks, -Paul W.
