Description
This is the processor for the PDP-8/e, a (relatively) low-cost minicomputer model that was introduced in 1970. (The PDP-8/e was sold with a tape drive, terminal, and cabinets that we do not have.)
The 12-bit CPU was built using DEC M-series Flip Chip modules along with 4K of core memory. It weighs over 100 lbs and cost between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on memory and other accessories.
