PDP-8/i Help needed

Hi, OK I have an 8/i, but now I have a lot of questions; first, where the heck is the serial number on the dumb thing? The top of the main frame seems to be the listing for the options and serial numbers, i.e. "KW8I 532," "MC8IA 1877," and "KP8I 774." I know this means it has/had another 4K of memory, the power fail/auto restart, and the RTC. On the back of the main frame, it has one more serial plate, though it looks like there used to be another one. It reads "M26 8I L3213." Is there any way to determine the stupid thing's serial number or is it there or ??? I have reason to believe that it's a fairly early machine, since it's a Negibus 8/i, and some of the chip dates are from late '68/early '69. I'd appreciate not being outbid on the 4K PDP-8 core stack on Ebay, as I need it to have the full 8K that it once had. Does anyone have any real docs for the beast they could part with? I mean originals, yes I greatly appreciate highgate, but since I plan to have a museum at some point, I really do need the real things. Not to mention that I don't have the equipment to print a D-size drawing (the module utilization chart). I also need the trim piece for the top of the rack it lives in (the old black 6'4" style). While I'm at it, I have no manuals for my 11/34A or my VAX-11/750.. Will J ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
