I didn't favor one over the other. Morrow's did work with third-party hardware,
though.

I had a number of 5203's and 5204's that I converted into Hi-Tech Tie Tacks a
decade or two ago. They made nice holiday stocking stuffers for office parties,
etc. They were certainly pretty enough with the white ceramic and gold cover
and pins. The gold made me think of them as jewelry. I made one out of the
8008 CPU from an old NBI word processor as well, since I pitched the rest of the
thing, not having the right model of printer.

Yes, and I still have a couple of unused VECTOR 22-slot mothers as well. I
didn't use them because the backplane length wasn't needed once one had memory
cards bigger than 8KB.
