I've heard from a fellow, Vince S., who has created a PCB layout for the PDP-8/e 32K RAM design presented in my article on Tronola.com. He's considering a Kickstarter launch to offer a $95 kit of parts and PCB but is wondering if there is sufficient interest. If so, please let it be known. Features include: - Battery backup with estimated 10-year data retention. - Inhibit on power fail to prevent memory corruption. - Most of the full size Omnibus board offers a prototyping layout. - Cooperation with any mix of core memory boards. Switches disable 4K fields. - Compatibility with Omnibus specs. - All through-hole parts, for easy assembly. I'm not associated with the project, other than having published the article and encouraging his efforts. Vince has published lots of PDP-8-related and other layouts on his website and will make this one available as well: http://so-much-stuff.com/pdp8/cad/cad.php The article is at: http://www.tronola.com/html/ram_for_pdp-8e.html Thanks, Steve Lafferty http://www.tronola.com/
