I've been told the Imlac processor is based on the PDP-8, or that it has
the same instructions as the PDP-8. I wouldn't know because I've never
programmed either.
Some info to this effect here:

I don't know much about Imlacs, and I'm probably younger than most
PDP-8s ever built (1973?) - but from the photos of the programmer's
console of an Imlac it looks like it's 16 bit. So, (probably) not very
closely based on a PDP-8 then.
