Talk about bad timing ....

Just a couple of days ago two friends of mine hauled a PDP/8 out to the
dump. Of course, you might not have been able to afford the power to run
a
REAL PDP/8.

I never actually worked with an 8, although I did publish a paper on 11M
crash dump analysis. Might be fun to be able to grok a little Macro-11
from
time to time ... hmmm ... wonder if there's a Pro350, or even an old
11/44,
languishing in someone's basement.

Does anybody know where I can get a Harris or Intersil
HD6100, HD6120, IM6100, or IM6120 microprocessor (cmos pdp-8)?

I used to work for Digital, and thought it would be an interresting
project
to homebrew a PDP-8 system. I have a T11 microprocessor chip in the
junbox
someplace, so a PDP-11 system is also a possibility.

Somewhere I have packed away a Sym-1 an Elf II and a Intersil 6100
familiarization board that had something like 256 bytes of ram, a boot rom
and a uart (the uart is farkled either the data out or data in line is bad
which is why I packed it away). I only have 25 more years till retirement,
so I may find time then to pull them out then and see if they still work. As
it is now I can't even find time to work on my remaining cp/m machines
(Xerox 820IIHD, RS 4p, Balcones BNV205, Osborne 1, Osborne Exec, and
Kaypro4).
thanks, John.
