As it was reported on /.
Hacker Oscarv wanted a PDP-8 mini computer. But buying a real PDP-8 was
horribly expensive and out of the question. So Oscarv did the next best
thing: he used a Raspberry Pi as the computing engine and interfaced
it to a replica PDP-8 front panel, complete with boatloads of fully
functional switches and LEDs.
