"New" PDP-8

I just completed the very nasty job of downloading the operating system and a few BASIC programs to my "new" PDP8, which is built from Robert Armstrong's design. It only draws about 5 watts, so it isn't a problem to keep on all the time, unlike others that people on this list might own! I made a comment to Mr.Armstrong that I removed the IBM logo from the drive because I didn't think it would work correctly with a DEC design. Strangely, this actually came true to a degree; I had a slow PPI chip that didn't get data from the drive quickly enough. I tried to save a dollar buying an 82C55 instead of an 82C55-5. Pics, if interested, are at: sloboyko.home.mindspring.com/pdp8e.htm I wrote up this web page as a brief synopsis of material I found on the Internet; some may be true and some may not be true. I would appreciate comments, etc., from the experts. I would also appeciate any pointers to interesting software, especially large BASIC programs, disk based FOCAL (if this exists?), and so on. The logos on the case look OK, but if anyone a broken piece of case with a Digital or PDP8 logo on it, I'd really like to have it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
