Kevin,
It has been some time since I toyed with my pdp8
computers. Literally many years.
I read the note about the memory on ebay being an omnibus memory. Did
they use 16 bit
core on a 12 bit machine ? At first glance I would think it was a pdp11
module. DEC may have
used 16 bit cores on pdp 8 boxes, I'm almost curious enough to blow the
dust off the old chassis
and look.
