SBC6120
From Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
The SBC6120 Model 2 is a conventional single board computer with the typical complement of EPROM, RAM, a RS232 serial port, an IDE disk interface, and an optional non-volatile RAM disk memory card. What makes it unique is that the CPU is the Harris HD-6120 PDP-8 on a chip. The 6120 is the second generation of single chip PDP-8 compatible microprocessors and was used in Digital's DECmate-I, II, III and III+ "personal" computers.
This is one of several neat projects done by Spare Time Gizmos. I have three of these boards, along with a FP6120 Front Panel, and two IOB6120 Multifunction companion boards.
I'll add more content later.
