I have just been given a DECmate III.   While I realise what the DECmate is
internally, I am not sure if I can make any use of it.

On power-on it displays the DECMATE logo.   On inserting a blank RX50 disc
it displays a disk logo.   Does the machine have a basic monitor in
firmware?  Is there a set of keystroke to access this?

Unfortunately the machine didn't arrive with any manuals or discs!

I would like to use the machine as a PDP8 development tool.   (Bit more
convenient than working in the garage on the big one!)
