Amazingly that's what I have... I didn't get the pods with mine, but a 
bit of work and some 10124 TTL-ECL translators got the thing useable with 
TTL level signals

Be careful!. I have in the back of my mind the idea that the 8008 has an 
internal (8-ish level) return stack and doesn't use RAM for this. So you 
could still have RAM problems.
