Thanks. Your are right about the tape drives, they are the reel to reel variety
and it
come with two of them. I can't wait until it gets here and to see the neighbors
faces
as I try to get the thing upstairs at my little townhouse.
If anybody ever has to move stuff like this from the Carolinas I found an
excellent
company that will pickup, crate, shrink wrap and ship for a pretty good price.
Anybody else out there with and 8/i?

I'm am now
looking for anything PDP 8/I related including books, paper tapes,
peripherals (especially an ASR33 teletype), mag tapes (TU58 I think),
engineering
documents and internal cards.
You don't want TU58 tapes, those are DECtape II's like you'd find on a
PDP-11 or VAX. They're about the size of a cassette tape, but different and
a little thicker.
I believe the right name is TU55/56.
Congrats on the -8/I BTW.
