Hi All;
I just received a book, that I had ordered about a week ago, and it was stated that in it, it had information on building your (my) own PDP 8I..
Needless to say I figured for the price of this book I could take a chance on it, lets just say I paid more for the Shipping than for the Book..
And a Quick look thru it and it goes into much Detail about what you would do do Design a PDP 8I, And there are many tables and listings and flow charts..
And there is enough information in the next Chapter to actually make the machine.. Functionally it says it is the same, it goes about it Differently than DEC did..
After having looked at the book a little closer, there are parts of Schematics, and many block diagrams and flow charts, and much of it is left to the student to do what is not there explicitly, but the information is there..
It is part of a course on Digital Design, and looks well written.. I like the style and after I figure some of his logic symbols and methodology, I think it would be a good exercise for me to do at least on Paper.. Supposedly there are about 125 Ic's for the whole design since there is no busing between boards, it would be on one maybe two boards, not counting the front console, with switches and Led's..
So, what is the title --
The Art of Digital Design An Introduction to Top Down Design (Second Edition) By Franklin Prosser and David E. Winkel
Here is a link for a feel of the book.. http://www.cs.indiana.edu/classes/b441-sjoh/post/ADD-260-271.pdf
THANK YOU Marty
