You might want to check out the following project if you want to build your
own small PDP-8. David Conroy has implemented a PDP-8i in an FPGA.

I might have some info on the 6100, I'll have to try and remember. I've got
databooks from them and I believe Harris that list it.

I think it used unobtainium type RAM and ROM, being
all early Intersil CMOS, so it might be very difficult
to make an "authentic" one today even if you had a
6100. The 6100 was, given my limited knowledge, harder
to make truly PDP8/e compatible than the later 6120.
I've looked around for a ROM listing or front panel
code for the 6100/Intercept with no luck.

Are there plans out there anywhere? I doubt I'll a real one. They looked kinda cool back when I
was a kid, but at
the time, I didn't understand what it meant
to be
PDP-8-instruction-
set compatible (i.e., the implications of it, not
the literal sense
of "compatible").
It had, IIRC, some toggle switches, LEDs, and 4KW
of SRAM, right?

The intercept had those, the Intercept Jr only had a
keypad and numeric LED
display. It only 256 or 1K (12 bit) words of RAM
ISTR
