I have a jupiter ace. It's sitting is a closet somewhere back in
Singapore.

Another sign of the folly of my youth : the machine is stripped out,
the TV modulator is missing (modified the machine to run on a Zenith
monochrome monitor), the rubber keyboard is somewhere else, there's a
hole made on the plastic casing for a reset switch, and the last and
worst modification I made on it was to wire up an external keyboard to
it.

Should have left it in one piece. Might have been more fun to look at.
