I worked on the pdp8e basce scanners a few times, my only experiance with
them was to toggle in a diagonistics utility, and align the optical bed. 
Those scanners used Behive terminals with 8008's in them.

I scavaged and rebuilt one that had a shipping mishap to use on 
my SDK80 single board. Most of my time was spent tweeking 8400's
in the field, trying to make pressmen hapy with our raged dots
before I moved on to a signetics 2650 based project.

Sure wish I still had the behive terminal.
