A truely beautyfull machine you've got there. I'm hoping to get my hands on a pdp/8 lab soon, it's from February 1972 and is in storage at a local telecom center where i've worked.

Interesting. I used to use a radio to determine if a program had crashed by listening to the pitches. If it generated a single pitch with no changes, the program was stuck in an endless loop. If the sound changed, you knew it was necessary to continue waiting.

Truly awesome video!

@teedot, same here!

It's a great machine, but the question is...
can it run Crysis?

you know its hardcore when you blow a fuse trying to turn it on.

Wow. I haven't seen that printer for decades. Watching it in operation, I can actually remember the distinctive smell of that machine ...

Amazing, and this is coming from a present-day programmer.
Unfortunately being only 27, I never had a chance to work with any of this old equipment. Very very cool!

Why's the printer stopping at 1:33?

@luzon83 The break comes from OS/8 (the machine's operation system) loading and interpreting the next directory data block from the RK05 disk.

A tape drive, two hard drives, a floppy disk drive, a CRT monitor and a lab I/O station...
