Hi Jon...
It was released by the Kenback Corporation in 1971...It was designed by
John V. Blankenbaker and sold for $750. It contained 1K MOS Intel
memory...it is widely considered the first personal microcomputer.

OK, that's a new one on me...
What's a Kenback. (I hope it's not similar to a henweigh!)
Jon

Does anyone here know if Spacewar was ever ported
to the Kenback, Mark-8 or
Altair 8800? Any information on early games for these
machines (even ports
of basic games like Advent) would be very enlightening...
