PDP-8 CPU question

[Al Kossow]

   I'll post a list of the docs as I go through them and see if anyone
wants to scan them and post them (Al?).

   Will coordinate this with you offline. I have a lot of 8 material
   scanned but not on line yet


Can someone explain the differences between the two
and why DEC offered two very different CPUs for the 8?  Can I replace
simply the M8300/8310/8320/8330 cards with the M8315?

   The M83xx set was the original Omnibus CPU (for the 8/e f and m)
   It is slightly faster than the single-board version.


Does anyone have
a ROM emulator or other way to load the diagnostics without using a PT
reader?

   They can be loaded though the tty interface. Easiest thing to do is
   hook up a terminal program with unchecked binary download capability.
