Wow.  We have an 8 too, although we never got it to work.  It was thrown
out by our EE department, who found it.  We love the guy -- it's a pdp-8/L.

Oh -- Kermit?  Okay.  Columbia is the home of kermit, and since we like to
exchange things with them (oh, isn't DECnet fun?), we pretty much have
kermit for *anything*, including the pdp-8.  It's written in everyone's
friend, PAL-III.  I'd be happy to send it to you in whatever form you'd
wish.  As always, there's the problem of "great, now how do I get kermit
onto the machine in the first place".  Well, all I can suggest is that I
email you the source, and you can type it in.

Seriously -- I'm interested in the machine.  What have you been doing with it?
What kind of peripherals have you managed to get it to talk to?
