New Haul: PDP-8/L and PDP-8/E
A couple of new machines have joined my stable, a very clean PDP-8/L and another PDP-8/E.
The /L is complete with the (somewhat important) exception of its core stack which has been lost at some point. If anyone has or knows the whereabouts of a spare stack (I believe they were common to the /I and PDP-12), please let me know. If I can’t find one I will have to resort to fabricating an alternative using NVRAM chips,although I doubt this will be trivial.
The /E is generally clean although its plexy is pretty scrappy. I quite like the dog eared look and so I will leave it this way. The console itself is missing a couple of keys although I have replacements for these. The machine came with no cards, but I have spare CPU sets and so I’m only left needing to find memory which should be achievable.
