Mk14 from Science of Cambridge, a kit with hex keypad and 7-segment

supply. I had the extra RAM and the I/O chip, so that's 256B (including
the memory used by the monitor) + 256B additional RAM + 128B more in the
I/O chip.
Luxury! Mine was a Miniscamp, based on a design published in
Electronics Australia in the 70s. 256 bytes RAM, 8 switches
for input, 8 LEDs for output. No ROM -- program had to be
toggled in each time.
Looked something like this:

except that mine wasn't built from a kit and didn't look
quite as professional as that one.

By the standards of just a few years later, that's not so much a
microcomputer as a nanocomputer!
I was actually interested in electronics at the time, and it was such
things as Mk14 which lead me into computing.
