- In response to someone's question, DEC does in fact still sell some
- PDP-8 spares. They vary from "kinda expensive" to "outrageous", but
- if you screw up one of your core stacks they've really got you
- cornered.
- As I remember, M8350's were kinda reasonable though, M8360's aren't
- available (bummer!), and RX8E's were something around $250, which is
- a hell of a lot but they've gotten really rare lately...
-
- On the other hand, they wanted almost $200 for the paddle card/cable
- that goes between an RK8E and the first RK05 -- if anyone has one of
- these to sell for a *lot* less than this I'd be very interested!
