Okay, the Minitel 1 is connecting to the PiDP8-i as a terminal. That wasn't something I was expecting to figure out before lunchtime.

@kenshirriff @rzbrk Ohhh, thanks so much for answering, Master Ken! Made my day! 
So, the PDP-8/e is still there in the exhibition? Cool! Wouldn‘t that be a nice project with #CuriousMarc, making it run again?

@rzbrk Look what I found in my photo library – photos of a #pdp8/e and a #pdp11/20 I took in 2013 at the #ComputerHistoryMuseum in Palo Alto! 
I wonder if @kenshirriff could tell us more about these, if they’re still there today and if they actually work?!

The #pdp8 was discontinued in 1979. We are both "late to the party"! 
I am currently very busy with RL things. But it would be awesome to exchange and to explore this beautiful machine together!
And I also plan to visit the Computer Museum in Stuttgart and to see a "real" PDP-8 at least once in my life:

@rzbrk Yeah! I‘d say „welcome to the club“ but I was late to the party and built my own #PiDP8 kit just a few weeks ago. Love programming it via the front switches in octal machine code!

The nearly finished #MiniComputer room in the Oldenburger Computermuseum with running #PDP8 and #PDP11 machines.
Why yes I did recreate period-correct FORTRAN code for plotting the Mandelbrot set before it was known as the Mandelbrot set ... even got it running on a PDP-8
Mathematics Stack ExchangeGrid spacing, iterations used in the 1978 first published rendering of the Mandelbrot set?This question is not profound, but I can't figure this out myself and thought I'd ask here. Although the paper is of great historical importance, I don't think History of Science and Mathematics
Picked up a little restoration project from a local: A PDP-8A/420, complete with 20-slot OMNIBUS backplane, PSU, CPU, serial, and 16KB of core memory. The story is that it had been used with a CNC machine at some point, and it is quite filthy. #PDP8 #RetroComputing #DEC #digital

OK, so where did all of this #LINC and #pdp8 stuff from this whoooole thread end up? Well, Dick Clayton from #dec explains in this short interjection at the DigiBarn event:
https://youtu.be/xT_5PcrVI9Q?t=5810
Basically Digital made a weird hybrid LINC/pdp8 system called the LINC-8, but it wasn't that great. So while he was on jury duty, he sketched out the Right Way to do it so that the system could switch between "8 mode" and "LINC mode" *in software*. The result was the #pdp12, which sold more units than all the previous LINC systems combined.
And that takes us to tonight's thread from @tastytronic, where the #umdpdp12 has just had its first successful verification tests of some of its 60-year-old flipchip cards: https://teh.entar.net/@tastytronic/109644812161500698
Don’t just throw away that ‘junk’ in your grandparents’ basement – Redditor discovers legendary 1956 computer in grandparents’ basement
https://gadgeteer.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/r6h1afilbjy91-640x480-1-400x300.jpg On Monday, a German Redditor named c-wizz announced that they had found a very rare 66-year-old Librascope LGP-30 computer (and several 1970 DEC PDP-8/e computers) in their grandparents’ basement. The LGP-30, first released in 1956, […]
