After a fair amount of effort on my part, I found and obtained a
copy of the July 1974, Radio-Electronics mag that has the cover
story "Build the Mark-8, your personal minicomputer". I was
less than delighted to find that in this instance, R-E left out
most of the construction details (including any skematics).
They have an offer on the second page of the article where
you should order the kit with circuit board patterns, and
the rest of the details. The article includes some theory of
ops, a parts list and a few photos.
Although I'd love to see all these old mags on-line, I guess
the copyright issue will prevent that from happening.
