Hardware

Here is how the PDP8 looks now (2009). As a supplementary information the first configuration (without the 3040 disk) was completed in 1972 and its cost was at that time 101'000 Swiss francs. A detailed list of some prices is given in the following Accounting sheet. During my stint with the German company the devices detailed in the attached Inventory were being used.
