It happens to be the first model I ever laid hands on... KK8A, KM8A, DKC8AA
(the standard -8/a stuff), 12-slot box (the 20-slot box was for stuff like
the PDP-8/a 620). I am pretty sure (it's been a while) that the -8/a 500
has a core-capable power supply. Lower stuff, like the -8/a 320, could only
take MOS memory (MS8C, et al.)
 
I've only ever seen the 12-slot PDP-8/a boxes myself, but a couple of
flavors of them.
