Serial No. 254
Consisting of the Straight 8 with additional table with chess board and clock, Lear Siegler terminal, later side table, and ring binder for CheckMO II instructions
The "Straight 8," was one of Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC) earliest and most successful minicomputers, introduced in 1965. It gained popularity for its compact size, affordability, and versatility, serving a wide range of scientific, industrial, and educational applications. The PDP-8 utilized discrete transistors rather than integrated circuits, reflecting the technology of its time. Its straightforward design and expandability through peripheral devices made it a favorite among early computer enthusiasts and programmers. This example was restored and programmed to run CHEKMO-II and play visitors a game of chess. The PDP-8's legacy includes pioneering efforts in time-sharing systems and real-time computing, contributing significantly to the evolution of computing during the 1960s and 1970s.
