Anyone heard any more about this 8 in Sussex, no reply from the topic
starter.
I can only answer for the PDP-7, as far as we know only 2 PDP-7's survived,
with a rumour that there might be a third in Australia.
One is here - http://toresbe.at.ifi.uio.no/dec/pdp7/agi/
Second is here - http://cc.uoregon.edu/cnews/fall2001/pdp7.html - this has
been decommissioned and moved to a museum, where escapes me for the moment.
We have a page for PDP-7 info and a list of the 99 known systems of the 120
built here - www.soemtron.org/pdp7.html

Mike Hatch
Looking for a PDP-7 (some hope!)

I guess this has been discussed to death in other places(and here to),
but given the knowledgeable readers of this list, I'm just to curious
not to ask.
How many linc-8, PDP-7 and PDP-9 survived? I've only seen one of each,
and only one in the flesh so to speak. Do they carry any value? or are
they simply to large for the general computer affectionado?
Cheers,

Keep
digging: a PDP-6 would probably pay for a new car :-)
Trust me on this: It would pay for a lot more than a new car!
