I've always been fascinated by the PDP-8S, in part because of the great
story behind it. I keep seeing references to it not being 100%
compatible with the other PDP-8 systems. How different was it (or how
was it different)? Is there any 8S specific software extant?

After both reading and participating in some recent discussions, I got
to thinking that maybe the array of PDP-8 models could be better
represented. I say this because from what I have read very early PDP-8
code is not 100% compatible with later models conversely the PDP-5 is
compatible with the early code and likewise uses a negibus like the
Straight-8. I thank this could be a rewarding experience for some of
us and since I can't work I would be able to help coordinate, write
pseudo code and beta test. If anyone is interested in this let the
discussion begin.
Thanks
