PDP-8 CPU question

In my PDP8/L I keyed in the RIM loader by hand and use it with 
RIM-compatible binaries from my PC. Have connected a TTY/RS232 converter 
and speeded the TTY port up to 9600 baud (needs some capacitor changes 
and adjustments with the scope).
I also have written a simple tool which converts octal listings into rim 
compatible data and back. That's all very simple and handy.
It is also easy to use the BIN loader over the serial port.

Feel free to ask me personally......
