This listing is for a Rare Digital DEC H-500 Computer Lab, made in the late 1960s. The sharp eyed collector will note that it uses the same switches as the PDP-8/I.In response to the need for a need for a training device to teach basic computer concepts DEC developed the Computer Lab, a classroom laboratory for teaching digital logic andcomputer fundamentals. This hands-on digital logic trainer provided gates, flip-flops, a clock source, switch inputs, and lamp outputs. The user wired it with patch cords. It has been tested to show that all lights illuminate and the 8 high/low switches operate correctly. No further functionality was tested and no other functionality is guaranteed. No patch cords or other accessories are included - the patch cords in the first two pics are for illustration only and are not included in the sale.These are very hard to find an a must have for any vintage DEC collection - don\'t let it get away!
