Hey - I know that emulation is well outside the scope of this board, but this might be of interest to SBC6120-RBC Edition owners.

The PiDP-8/I is a Raspberry Pi pretending to be a ridiculously fast PDP-8/I, complete with mini blinkenlights case and fully emulated real hardware panel switches. It's quite fun, but not exactly what we're about here. Warren Young's PiDP-8/I Software project has released a number of rationalized OS-8 images for the emulator. I haven't tried them on my SBC6120-RBC, but they may "just work".

I have made a version of the pidp images for the SBC6120 previously. It requires adding a driver for the IDE interface. Instructions and disk images in the messages linked above.
