Well, that's certainly an understatement Sellam!
This seems to be a well researched trail leading up to the Simon, IMO.
However, any good guess as to how many Simons were actually made and
successfully run from the over 400 plan sets sold? Any known to exist now?
To try to solve that First Microcomputer question, a set of attributes must
first be set just like the set was to determine the 1st PC as shown in the
above URL. Methinks that will be a bit troublesome as nobody seemed to
agree on that during the last go-around of discussing the 1st Microcomputer
here awhile back.
