  There were many models of EduComp computers - the lower end systems ran a
timeshared BASIC interpreter, and the higher end systems ran TSS/8.  

  TSS/8 exists on the web and will run on simulators, but the SBC6120 lacks
the timeshare hardware needed to make it work.

  AFAIK, EduComp BASIC has disappeared - if anybody has a copy of it, I'd
love to get a copy.
