Overview of my PDP-8/A (1 of 2)

I have two identically spec-ed PDP-8/As which I purchased a couple of years ago across ebay. The machines were originally from a CNC machine and feature 16KW of memory together with paper tape readers.

The cards fitted are as follows:

  • M8315 – KK8A PDP-8/A CPU board (hex wide)
  • M8317 – KM8AA PDP-8/A bootstrap, powerfail (hex wide)
  • M8316 – DKC8AA PDP-8/A I/O serial/parallel/clock (hex wide)
  • G650 – MM8AB PDP8A 16K Memory stack (hex wide)
  • H219B – MM8AB PDP8A 16K Memory control (hex wide)
  • G650 – MM8AB PDP8A 16K Memory stack (hex wide)
  • H219B – MM8AB PDP8A 16K Memory control (hex wide)
  • Third party paper tape drive controller
