I've always wondered how one of these machines ended up on a sidewalk in
Chicago (admittedly, the location isn't so strange, since it was only a
few miles from the zip code listed for "Micro-Expander" on the back
panel).
Finding this machine outside the former site of a computer store called
"Sol's Computer Works" seemed unlikely to be just a coincidence. I talked
old hardware with the proprietor of the shop for a while and remarked on
the similarity of the Expander to the Sol, but he didn't volunteer any
additional information and I didn't press him for it. Maybe the VCF tapes
will fill in some of the missing information in the history of the
Expander.
