The "CMOS 8s" are a whole different kettle of fish. They were only used
in word processing/DECmate systems and had many unique features.

Then I guess we need to decide which model the quintessential pre-omnibus
machine would be. The 8/S would probably be a bad choice to start since it
is kind of an oddball.

The PDP 8/S is one I was considering but I'm not real sure about hardware
compatibility become it uses a serial bus which became the basis for the
Omnibus . I will do research when I can but right now I am concentrating
on the PDP-5 and Straight-8.

After both reading and participating in some recent discussions, I got to
thinking that maybe the array of PDP-8 models could be better represented.
I say this because from what I have read very early PDP-8 code is not 100%
compatible with later models conversely the PDP-5 is compatible with the
