Do you have a good source for DEC literature,
datasheets on these machines?

Until tonight, I never knew the processor was an
8008-1 cpu. I've been
studying that chip a little lately.
Where did you read that an 8008 was the main CPU of the PDP-8?
I'd like to get a well-equipped system, but I
hesitate to ask the price
for the various pieces.
It seems as though the prices for various PDP-8s on eBay range from $1000
on up.
I've been thinking of finding a PDP8 emulated in
modern hardware as an
alternative.
Besides those built for FPGA usage, there's also the SBC6120, as well as
software emulation like SimH and an OS X simulator.
