Wow! I don;'t think I';d haev had the patience to put that together...

Even for the time, it was a very old-fashioned design with a lot of 
hard-wired logic. Things like the HP9810 were contemporary and did a lot 
more with few ICS (said machine used a processor + firmware sort of 
structure).

Do you also rememebr the PE CHAMP (along with the CHAMPprog and CHAMPUV)? 
That was a 4040-based computer system which fitted (not including the 
PSU) onto one (large) piece of stripboard. The other 2 units were an 
EPROM programmer and UV eraser, of course. I think I have all the 
articles for that too...
