Hi!
Anyone on here collect old Mac 68k gear, and happen to have a PowerBook Duo

Thanks much as always!

I found a really nice PDP-8/e sales brochure while browsing through our
heaps of documentation.
Plenty of nice close up photos and as last picture a system with everything.

I sold my VAX (and the buyer, Josh, has it running now!), but I am still
maintaining the registry. Only 4-5 people have sent me info.
I am away from my desk and don't have access to the URL/e-mail addr right now.

Judging by what it advertises, probably 1972, maybe 1973. Unlikely to be later
than that.

I want to read the DROM chip with my programmer, but I can't ID the chip. Does
anyone know what kind it is? It is in a PLCC32 package and the label on it is:

I am sure at least some of that is DEC stuff, unrelated to the type of chip.
However, none of those parts of the label
