Thats really awesome that you have one of those working. Really hope you can find a proper component at a decent price!

8,000 additional CPUs hitting the market is not going to significantly impact prices. Just parting it out for CPUs and RAM is only one...

Sold for just $480,085.00. The CPUs alone sell for ~$50USD. Times 8,000 processors. Parting out old super computers could be a literal...

Is this an actual working PDP-8M or a modern reproduction? Just curious.

Maybe not on that specific board, but I think there's a market for a 486-based board that fits in a modern case and takes modern power...

Two problems with that: 1) as mentioned the thing is a nightmare; and 2)most of that $219 price tag is the case, screen, battery, and...

ITX fits in an ITX tower, so I'd take it, but ITX won't mount very many expansion cards. And really that's what attracts me most. Would...

Is it weird that I wish this sort of thing was my day job?

Cool! I appreciate you documenting this forgotten bit of tech history.

Probably what I'll do in that case is get my win2k box reassembled and try to image the drive. At the very least I can see if any files...
