Memory mapped IO on the 1802 was trivial to do and could be used to good advantage (1861 used it for the display). < Coincidentally, I purchased a PDP-8/L at 16 for the princely sum of $35 Had an 8e years ago and gave it away, looking for another. < Still, the latch required +5.0VDC, the only part with a tight power < requirement. The latch was not fussy about power, the led portion was power hog. Allison
