Both the 8/i and the Straight-8 have the same number of switches (26).
Their function is identical. The 8/i has a few additional lights, however.

Related to DEC emulation: is there a visual
Straight-8 simulator? I'd
like
to practice working the front panel and such.
I don't think there is one. The PDP 8i is the closest thing but there are
I think 26 switches at the bottom the 8i, I think only 18 at the bottom of
the straight 8. They thus can't be the same exactly but it may be
that the
straight 8 is the same as the 8i, if you use only switches that appear on
both systems (no step counter on the straight 8). Dave G will know.
