[PDP8-Lovers] pdp-8 Core Memory Board on eBay! - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

1 Oct 1999

 Kevin,
                    It has been some time since I toyed with my  pdp8
computers. Literally many years.
    I read the note about the  memory on ebay being an omnibus memory. Did
they use 16 bit
    core on a 12 bit machine ?  At first glance I would think it was a pdp11
module.  DEC may have
    used 16 bit cores on pdp 8 boxes,  I'm almost curious enough to blow the
dust off the old chassis
    and look.

Hi Gang:

There's an Omnibus core memory board for sale on eBay. See:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=173721903

for details. The seller doesn't know what he has, other than it's a
"vintage computer core memory board". The current price is $29.99.
