The PDP-8/e was a model of the PDP-8 line of minicomputers, designed by the Digital Equipment Corporation to be a general purpose computer that inexpensively met the needs of the average user while also being capable of modular expansion to meet …

The PDP-8 is a family of 12-bit minicomputers that was produced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). It was the first commercially successful minicomputer, with over 50,000 units sold during the model's lifetime. [1]

The PDP-8/E and PDP-8/M were similar computers. The 8/E was introduced in 1970 and had a linear power supply and room for 20 cards including the slots used by the processor. It sold for $6,500.

The PDP-8 is a 12 bit single accumulator machine which can address up to 32K 12 bit words. It has 8 basic instructions and the PDP-8/E executes them in 1.2 microsecond for simple instructions to 4 microsecond for complex memory reference instructions.

The PDP-8/E was an improved model in the PDP-8 line from DEC, and introduced the OMNIBUS for interfacing to device controllers. The PDP-8/F was a cost-reduced version of the -8/E with the same CPU, but only a single OMNIBUS backplane. The PDP-8/M is …

2012年7月10日 · The PDP-8's designers dedicated one of the machine's precious 9 memory reference bits to signify “indirection.” Indirection means that the location being addressed is not the target of the instruction, but rather the referenced location contains the address of the target.
