I would argue that only the original PDP-1 could
rightly be called
"the PDP"
Speaking of that pioneering machine, does anyone know if there are
any plans by the CHM to try to make the MIT engineering prototype
operable? I last saw it in use at MIT about 45 years ago, when it was
housed adjacent to the TX-0 and the two were being used for speech
synthesis experiments. From what I understand the operable machine on
display at the CHM is a later C production version.
