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.
