Started with DEC Field Service in '78 working on PDP8 systems and peripherals (TU56, paper tape, RK05's, LP05 printers, LA36 consoles, ASR-33 consoles).

Fond memory installing one of the first DF32's (one of early rotating fixed head disks) in local area with a colleague at a Govt research site on a PDP8I (or 8E?) with 8K (yes, K) core memory. I remember us joking "who would ever need 32K additional memory / storage?".

Got into OS/8 quite a bit on other PDP8/*'s for troubleshooting reasons.
