Seconded; I was just leafing through "A DEC view of hardware systems
design" again last week and I had noticed that footnote and was wondering
myself ... the PDP-3 must be the rarest of them all :O I wonder if there
are any surviving leftovers?
Best,
Sean

*Anyone seen a PDP-3 lately?*
I'm trying to discover what became of the PDP-3. It was originally built
at the Scientific Engineering Institute (SEI) in Waltham, MA, and later
transferred to someone at MIT. Gordon Bell wrote in 1978 that it was
running at an unspecified location in Oregon, but yesterday he told me he doesn't remember where that was. I am
working on a book on the history
of stealth and the Lockheed Blackbird. The PDP-3 was used at SEI to
process
radar data for the A-12 Blackbird. Thanks very
much, Paul Suhler (949)
