Chuckles at the typo.Is the PDP-8 the only classic
architecure from the mid
1960's that was made with VLSI components.
IBM 360 (still being made today)
Data General Nova (MicroNOVA)
PDP-11 (LSI-11)
Maybe HP 21xx (A series?)
Just to name a few.

Nova came out in 1969, not really mid-60s, though :-) The MicroNOVA was
1977.
PDP-11 (LSI-11)
Definitely not mid 1960s. The first PDP-11 appeared in 1970, and LSI-11
came out in 1975!

Not really. It's descendants are still being made. IBM will happily
make you a part for any of their machines, no matter how old, if you pay
enough money. They still have the manufacturer's specs for all of it.
Peace... Sridhar

That might have been true in a much older version of IBM. I don't think
is anywhere near true today. Hardware and software comes in and out
of support much quicker now, and IBM does not do this.
