Long shot: looking for legacy SBC

Dec 05, 2010 3 Replies

Hi, Many years ago there was a SBC that emulated a PDP8-E, IIRC IMS61-something-or-other?



If there's one or two out there that still work, I'd be interested in getting hold of them. Nothing in EBAY, I'm not sure where else to look. TIA


There are actually several PDP-8e around. Most are based on the Intersil IM6100 or Harris HD-6120

There is a moderately active news group dedicated to the pdp 8 you might want to look at alt.sys.pdp8

There is at least one FPGA version also:

A typical desk-top PC would probably be able to emulate a PDP-8 at 10X the throughput of the real thing...

I'm guessing that your real challenge is reading the data that you would be feeding to this PDP-8

I have a working PDP 8/L out in the garage.
