I know the base instruction set is right but I'm fairly sure the
IO structure is radically different, but --
What peripgherals and OS software is available for, or runs on,
the Intercept? (Not the Jr board, the rack-mount job).
I'm thinking it might make a comfortably modern old machine...
You can run most base PDP-8 software. The small difference is the
console IOTs are differently assigned but easily fixed in the code.
Its the side effect of their IO devices.
