Thanks for the information on the digital group. I'm very interested
in the history of these older computers, and especially the digital
group.
It's the Z-80 kit that i built. The system had 4 boards - no fancy
cases ;-). However, my nephew has the system at this time, but I'm
hoping to get it back sometime. Good to hear that there are others
out there interested in digital group systems. I was _very_ impressed
with the system back in the 70's and it performed very well for me
for years, and i was disappointed when they folded. I only regret
that I didn't purchase the other 3 processor boards - 6800, 8080 and
6502. I would like to play with these now.

Bob
