You can also build one from a 6120 (possibly easier

find), which can be found in DECMate boards among

Right. I have the DECmates (a DM-II that runs OS-278 from an ST225,
and a DM-III that's RX50-only). I looked at getting circuit boards,
but in the small quantities they've been made in, I just can't
justify the cost.
I built one of these, wire wrapped:

That's more up my alley. If I didn't have any working PDP-8s, I'd
consider it.
It's a lot more fun than an Intercept might be,
because it can run OS/8.
True, but I already _have_ hardware that runs OS/8. The interest
is in a battery-powered 25-year-old design.
This isn't about "making a PDP-8". It's about playing with the
Intercept in particular because I remember it and never got the
chance back in the old days. As I said, I don't expect to run
across one; I'm not planning on paying hundreds of dollars even
if I did. I was simply curious if there were plans out there,
mostly to read through them.
Thanks,
