Am I correct in thinking this is a pdp-8 compatible processor?
Can you build a pdp-8 clone like the sbc6120 using these?
Yes you can, but real PDP 8 I/O and memory over 4kw require other
support chips. Also since the chip is CMOS speed and output drive
is limited. Until you can get a data sheet on the devices it may
be wise to not get the chips. Intersel made the 6100's first I think.
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I wasn't wise enough to
wait for it. :}
I found a nice datasheet for the im6100 on
pdp8.net, but nothing
on the 6102 or the other support chips.
I happen to have the Intersil and harris
databooks for the 6100 and
support chips, if nobody has scanned them yet, I'll see if I can get to
it.
