The recent Ebay auction for the original PDP-8 got my attention because one of the photos (the processor logic flipchip array) is a nice snapshot for comparison purposes with the system I am working on.

This is also a nice confirmation that I more or less have the flipchips in the right places. There are only a few slight differences. Bill
