Subject: PDP8 on a chip?

Does anyone out there know where we can get a PDP8-on-a-chip?  Anyone
ever heard of such a beast?  Supposedly this is made by Intersil, part
#IM6100; or Harris HM6100-2, HM6100A, or HM6100C-9.  Anyone who knows
about this, please drop me a line!

--Bill.

Well, the IM6100 was the predecessor of the Harris 6120 chip, and that
chip was used by DEC in large quantities, both for their series of
DECmate machine (sold mostly for word processing) and as a peripheral
controller for other DEC machines.
