Get your bids in early on this one. Its a rare Adaptec PDP-8e. Back in the 60's DEC
licensed their PDP8 architecture to Adaptec to make exact replica's of their now
infamous design. Sales were sluggish so they decided to make SCSI interfaces instead.
Truly one of a kind....

Looks the same as any other pdp 8/e to me (except mine, which was made in
Ireland and not maynard massachusetts). So, what boards, cables, etc are
included? Is it in working condition? Are al panel lights operational?
What spares and manuals are included? Does it have both omnibus busses? etc?

I'm guessing that was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the guy who listed the
computer mistakenly referring to it as an "Adaptec"

Probably the only word adaptec on the thing is on the owner's property tags.

What's so special about it? It looks like a DEC PDP8 to me. Where does
it say Adaptec?

Brian's post was a *joke* more than it was an ad. Calm down.

Sellam,
Take it easy. READ the post. Its a JOKE. Tongue in cheek, etc. I can't
beleive how many people took this as a real ad. Its NOT my machine. I was
just making light of the fact of the owners lack of knowledge on what
he was selling, thats all....

My apologies. Didn't get a chance to sense the sarcasm in it as I was
speeding thru CC messages at an internet cafe with only limited time.

New subject: SoCal auction, going going gone
One of SoCals best auction sites turned its head and coughed for the last
time today, BBC auction in Huntington Beach went up for auction to the bare
walls today. Blood flowed in the aisles, and all that saved me (not like I
got saved) was the grouping of lots into amounts even I considered insane
for me to bid on. I bought about 3 pallets worth of Apple Service parts, a
MacTV, a rack of different kinds of printer expansion memory, and lots more
that I still have no clue on entire contents.
So far the sort of treasure that I have snooped in the loot are brand new
IIgs and Mac Plus keyboards, drive mechanisms for the CD SC, new 20 MB
drives, and lots of useless printer parts. ;)
Sometime before my next garage sale in July I WILL have a list on my web
site. For now I am working on how the heck to get it all home.
