PDP-8/F Quick look and Teardown
« on: September 25, 2020, 06:56:26 am »
Leaving the best to last, here is the pride of my PDP collection, the PDP-8/F.

Here we just open it up and have a look around. The power supply and its capacitors still need to be tested before I'll try to turn it on.

I enjoyed the video. Brought back lots of memories when I had a chance to play around on one of those many years ago. That front panel was the best looking of all the DEC machines I had a chance to work with. I never saw the insides of it though, so it was nice to finally see that.

About that time, Amtrak seemed to adopt that color scheme for interiors, especially food and beverage service cars.

Wow, that's amazing they actually made that onto a chip.

The 6100 was the original chip, I think.
