Not specifically, but I suspect a good guess would be 1968. If I remember
right - my bookshelves are at home, but I'm at work - the 1967 Small
Computer Handbook dealt primarily with the -8, -8/S and LINC/8, and the
1968 edition dealt with the 8/I. I suspect the machine and the handbook
weren't _too_ far apart. :)
