Hi Pontus
Thanks that clears up one or two things.
I worked on a straight 8 with its clear cover on top along with a couple
of 8/e's at Harwell.
Whilst at DEC 1975 onwards I saw loads of 8/a's and the odd 8/e lurking
on the top of a filing cabinet.
As far as I can remember I never saw an 8/i,8/i, 8/f,8/s or 8/m used in
house.
By that time flavor of the month was the PDP-11/34A. We sold a hell of
alot of those.
I have one awaiting restoration. I can't remember if they have a
switching psu or not.
It matters not. Turf out all electrolytic capacitors on sight.
Regards
Rod

Hi Guys
The drawings for pdp8/e (A), pdp8/e (B), pdp8/f and
pdp8/m have now gone to the silkscreeners for checking and costing.
I'll let you all know when they are available. Those who chose to
prepay but to wait for the version they needed will go out first.
One issue I need to clear up. Are PDP-8/i and pdp-8/l thats (i) and
(l) the same due to font ambiguity or different?
8/i and 8/l are distincly different.
If you want to group them 8/e/f/m are similar and the rest are distinct
from eachother. See here for an overview:
