Did I misss something?  I used some PDP-8's and related machines a
LONG time ago.  But, I can say with a GREAT DEAL of confidence
that you'll never get EMC ported to run on one!

(In fact, my Pentium Classic can do the complete 3-axis servo calculation
including I/O in the time a PDP-8 can execute about 4 or 5 machine
instructions!)
