If you're one of those people who wants a PDP-8 but can't find one, don't despair - you can always build your own! The SBC6120 is a complete PDP-8 built around the venerable Harris HM6120 CPU and modern programmable logic devices. All parts used except the 6120 are contemporary, easily available devices. The entire system fits on a PC board 6.2" by 4.2" and has approximately the same footprint as a 3.5" hard disk. The SBC6120 has an IDE disk interface, an optional 2Mb non-volatile RAM disk (that's as big as an RK05!), and a true KL8/E compatible console terminal interface. OS/8 device handlers are available for the IDE and RAM disks, and the system will run standard OS/8 V3D. There's even an expansion bus so you can design and build your own daughter cards to plug into it. To find out more, visit the SBC6120 web page at http://www.SpareTimeGizmos.com/Hardware/SBC6120-2.htm I've recently had two requests to buy SBC6120 PC boards. These are four layer boards with plated holes and are quite expensive in quantity one or two, but the price falls per piece falls dramatically for quantities as small as four or six. I'd like to find a few other people who would be interested in building their own SBC6120 and going in together on a PCB order. The price for a SBC6120 PC board would be something like: Two boards ==> $100 per board Four " ==> $60 per board Six " ==> $45 per board Ten " ==> $36 per board I also have about four spare 6120 chips, which I'm willing to sell at my cost of $50 each. Believe it or not, it is still possible to buy new old stock 6120s, at $50 each, with a minimum order of ten (!!), but if enough people want SBC6120s we could always go this route.
