Folks,
Can any one tell me whats in a "PDP-8" Straight 8. So how many logic
boards, logic gates, transistors and diodes? Does any one also have the
CPU speed. Its just there is one in www.mosi.org.uk next to a Ferranti
Pegasus. I would like to be able to compare it with the Pegasus to show
how things moved on in the nine years between the two machines. The poor
PDP-8 is much neglected as its much smaller and less impressive than the
Pegasus, yet I am pretty sure it was faster, cheaper and much more capable.
