You're still talking "retro hobbyist", aren't you? Or are new PDP-8
systems being deployed in commercial applications today?
Lack of "commercial applications" doesn't imply "hobbyist".
Every Toys-R-Us store is filled to overflowing with proof of that.
[replying to my own post because I think I wasn't clear]
The product is produced by a professional organization that does
professional-grade work...and it has an 8255 in it. The fact that
the product is targeted primarily at the hobbyist market isn't
relevant here.
