When I get back in the garage again, I'll dig it out and get a couple of
pictures. This computer was designed and made available in Japan as a kit,
and I have no idea if it was ever made available outside of Japan (mine was
given to me in Japan.) The CPU was either an 8080 or Z80, and I really
doubt it would have been based on the Mac-8 CPU; Mac-8 was the name of the
Japanese company that made the computer.
