The PDP-5 is almost identical to a PDP-8, except the program 
counter is in memory location zero.

The PDP-12 is an interesting machine, I used one for a 
while. Basically, the PDP-12 was a PDP-8 with the LINC 
instruction set added on.  With some tricky hardware, the 
Linctapes/DECtapes could be used by either.  Not too clear 
if the CRT could be accessed by the PDP-8.
