Talk on the PDP8 page that there will be a dump of all of the OS and 
other assets to be public.

Charlie Lasner passed from COVID-19 on 03 Apr 2020. He was still 
perfecting P?S/8. We've managed to image his non-password-protected 
computer drives in an attempt at recovering P?S/8.
Assuming that we're successful _and_ his widow gives permission, we'll 
make it available "as is." We'll also have his documentation (that he 
wrote & used before writing the code) and make it available too. When 
bugs turn up, hopefully skilled users will make corrections and share 
them -- perhaps on GitHub.
