I bought a book called Digital Computer Lab Workbook (see photo). Does anybody know about the piece of hardware shown on the cover? PDP-8's are pretty rare in Belgium, but I have never even seen this thing before.
As far as I understood from reading a few pages in the book, it should be mainly a patchpanel with a number of logic gates but with some extras like clock generators. I don't know what the switches at the bottom do.
Does anyone have the pdf version of the book btw? I know from previous experience that pages tend to get loose in these DEC-books when you open them too often. Apparently they aren't made to last 40 years
