I don't remember the exact date, but I was in high school which places it
in the mid-1970s: there was a storefront called "The Retail Computer Store"
that sold Altairs, IMSAIs, Chromemco and SWTPC. I really wanted the little
SWTP 680 - now, of course, they're sky high if you can find one.

I suspect the problem is more of trying to avoid the costs of

Well, given the difficulty of getting official values (USD 4k, per
year(!), seems to be the cheapest option at the moment - certainly
completely out of reach for anything hobbyist), this is hardly
surprising.

Some progress on the PDP-12. We borrowed a TU56 tape head from the TU56 in
the warehouse and replaced the broken right head. We reran ran

so at least the timing track in the borrowed tape head is OK.

Looking at the flicker for Larry Niven's machine, I see it hada Polymorphic

Just tested the C16, Its free to anyone who wants it and can fix it.
Just pay shipping, Or if you are attending VCFMW I can put it in the

I still call it 'Useless Serial Botch' most of the time. It's not a bus, after
all.

If you're going to toss them otherwise, I'd be happy to keep them and give
them a good home until someone came along who could use them ... but I'll
take a backseat to anyone who's actually got one of those systems.
