Isn't that one fee based now though?

Does it tolerate and encourage homebrew gear?

I wasn't able to find out all that much about the 'CS', other than it
seems to have been made between 1945 and 1946. (Maybe this thing is close
to being on topic, since it is certainly older than the Simon computer ;)

I found scans of the manual online (and archived a copy of them), but I'd
like to find an original print manual somewhere to replace the one that
was lost. Print manuals are also easier to read than a 300dpi scan, even
If I print out a copy. Guess I'll have another argument with Google and
see what turns up :)
