I thought that the PDP-8 had long ago disapeared. I used to own
a PDP-8e with a dual DEC-Tape drive, OS-8, Fortran II compiler,
FOCAL, and assembler. I gave the system to a computer museum in
Westminster Mass about 6 years ago.

I still have the IBM programming card for the PDP-8, sort of scary.

	I had an 8/L!! donated to Ventura CA museum. Still have an 8a
	manual and programming cards. ASR33 I/O w/ paper tape --! 10
	char/sec printout. Them were the good 'ol days! All day to get a
	4k 12 bit program running -- if all went well. You prayed the
	paper tape wouldn't miss a punch on the 3 pass read.
