Not so much "serial bus" as just "serial". Everything is serial in the
machine, as far as I understand.
Not sure how much of a bus it got.

Quite rare the PDP-8 faq says 1024 made. And given how slow it

Theres an 8/f which replaced the 8/e and has a similar front panel with
extra markings
The 8/m - OEM no front panel
The 8/I has different front panel
The 8/A is a totally different box altogether
The 8/e was the big seller with thousands shipped
The 8/s was a small seller with 10's of computers shipped.
I got to play with both.
