It takes about 4 seconds to run on a Tiny2040 running PicoMite BASIC. geoffg.net/picomite.html

No joy with any of the emulated systems yet - I can't get my install of PDP-8 BASIC to run any code, although I can edit it. The BASIC interpreter provided with Research Unix V4 from 1973 is very broken.

I've got PDP-8 BASIC to work in a PDP-8 emulator running on the same Tiny2040. It's difficult to time as running the code first starts the tokenizer, which takes some time, but the actual execution takes about 90 seconds. (1/2)

Due to this ancient BASIC's peculiarities, I needed to amend the code slightly. IF statements can only result in a GOTO, LET statements are mandatory, variable names can only either be a single letter, or a letter followed by a number, and the code must end in an END statement.
