PDP-1 :
description: DEC's first computer, the PDP-1, was introduced in 1960.
The first video game, SPACEWAR!, was developed on the PDP-1. A team of
volunteers is restoring a PDP-1 at the Computer History Museum.

site. That sounds like a *VERY* interesting project! I've
added the URL to my favorites and will continue to follow
your activities.

The Computer History Museum has a working PDP-1 computer (Passes
all the PDP-1
instruction and memory diagnostics). Several of us on this list
are members
of the restoration team. See:

You might want to take a look at the "News" column that provides
a running
commentary on our activities.

Ok, I'm going to try to get them.
Does anyone have a PDP-1?
I'll try to get an image of the contents of the tape if I win.
Question for list members.... what's the oldest functioning
PDP computer that anyone out there has, to your knowledge?
