My favorite BYTE issue had the HP 150 on the cover. It changed the
entire direction of a segment of my business.
My very first issues of BYTE and Kilobaud were a gift from Ray Morrison of
Ill. Bell Teletype fame

Our system at SMECC has the big Blue orig. drives... no idea what controller

If anyone has a set of Manuals for this system and drives please let
us know.
A dream would be to buy a Intelect 4 syste
Actually, yes. I had the first two years of them bound - the first
issue sold to me personally by Wayne Green, and let them go for a song
. A couple of years later each bound edition was advertised for $200 -
that was in 1995 prices!
No idea wha tthey woul dbe worth now.

I know the response to this might be quite subjective and depends on
your particular interests.
Do BYTE magazines have any collectability (maybe even from a historical

The drives don't look like a standard box but are likely fine as it has the two

Hi, I've recently come across a CPU chip marked "AlphaMicro" . It has a
