... on the other hand with the displayed history it doesn't fit with the
Museums current collections policy, which is objects should have a
connection with Northwest England. I assume it came from a local
business, college or university, and I was intending to investigate on
Tuesday.
However if and when it is disposed of I am pretty sure it will got to
another UK Museum....
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.
I guess this is the one?
