Hi all.
I recently bought a mystery blinkenlight panel. Closer inspection reveals
it was manufactured by Intel in the early 70’s (1973), and some people on
the book of faces suggested it was part of a “device multiplexer”(?)
I’m 95% confident it’s not strictly a “computer” blinkenlight panel, but
rather an attached device, but that still hasn’t helped me narrow down what
exactly it was from.
I’ve not seen any early Intel stuff as rack-mount, so i’m wondering if it
was a prototype, or maybe a piece of internal/non-commercial hardware for
Intel's own use.
I’m hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on this mystery.
