The PDP8 simulator is a superset. It has a mixture of PDP8/E and PDP8/A
features and peripherals. (For example, the RL8A was unique to the 8/A.)
Most PDP8 software is written to be processor agnostic.
The PDP8 (original) and 8/I had unique peripherals, and these are mostly
not simulated. For the PTR/PTP, TTI/TTO, CLK, and RF, the old
controllers are the same as or proper subsets of the 8/E and 8/A
controllers, but the early 8s had different and incompatible controllers
for DECtape, magtape, and cartridge disks, among others.

Thanks Bob, this will help me a great deal. A question though,
everything I've read has been for the PDP -8/A. Doesn't simh simulate
the E?
Thanks

It was never added to the SimH manual. I've submitted a new
version to the GitHub editor for merging.
