I have a hazy memory of CESI, but I never heard about replacement PDP-8
CPU boards before. Besides the obvious issue of cost, why were these
made? I can see that with a 1.2uS cycle time, it's like a hex-high KK8E,
leaving you lots of room for peripherals, but is that the only benefit?
Did they integrate any I/O into the CPU module? What's the 40-pin connector
at the top of the board for?
As for scanning issues, I'm not one of those people to harp on bandwidth
since I feed off of a cable modem. I'm personally fond of compressed TIFF
files or PDF for B&W, and depending on if the document is for screen or
printer 75dpi to 300dpi for regular scans.
Thanks,
