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.

No cheating! If you're going to homebrew a PDP-8, you have to build it out
of discrete TTL.

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.

I thought FHP and EGO were completely separate, competing projects?
(Admittedly, my only source is Kidder's book.)

You do realize that there are people who collect these machines, and have
been known to pay REAL MONEY for them, don't you???
