I have some sort of IMP-16 development system as well I believe. Either
that or at least the processor and some data books.
I have a processor board that came out of some medical test equipment that
a hobbyist hacked into a general purpose computer. I can't remember if it
was based on the PACE or the IMP-16, but it was certainly one of them.
