Could be interesting to look at the first IC-based
PDP-8 for how many IC
types were used.
A substantial number. There are a couple of dozen different M-series
FLIP CHIPs in an -8/L or -8/i, and the double-height modules (M706,
M707, M220...) are somewhat complex. M111s are simple, but that's one
type of many, each with different TTL parts.
Off the top of my head, the most abundant part numbers are the '00,
'04, '10, and '74, but there are many, many more present.
