Small Computer Handbook

Book • 1984
The Small Computer Handbook is a comprehensive technical reference published by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) primarily focused on the PDP-8 series of minicomputers.

It serves as an essential resource for engineers, technicians, programmers, and managers involved in developing, maintaining, and programming PDP-8 systems.

The handbook includes detailed hardware descriptions, instruction sets, timing diagrams, flowcharts, and programming examples.

Various editions from the mid-1960s through the early 1970s cover different PDP-8 models such as the PDP-8/E, PDP-8/I, PDP-8/M, and PDP-8/F, often accompanied by companion manuals like the Introduction to Programming.

The handbook was part of a larger library of technical documentation made available by DEC to support their minicomputer installations.
