Is there any value in "pdp8/e pdp8/m & pdp8/f small computer handbook" of 1973? It's full of pictures about how computers are designed and made but which seem to bear no resemblance to today's products

8 Restoration progress
|
| |
I don't know if there are people interested or not but I find I have a desire to talk about the progress we are making on getting it going again. This last week we made pretty good progress. By we I mean Warren Stearns, who also is a lover of old dusty computers, and myself. We both used this particular computer in college back in the 1970's. I... more »

40 year old PDP-8
|
| |
A friend of mine who likes dusty old computers has been helping me get my Straight 8 running again. For the last couple of months it has been one thing after another going wrong.

50Hz vs. 60Hz?

Anyone have the Fabritek 8/I memory expansion?
|
| |
It uses a couple centronics style connectors on the back that go to paddle boards. They seem to be awfully short, I don't see exactly how it was hooked up.
