Hello Chris,
> The Mark-8 or the 5100 precursor?
You know when I read that, I noticed that it never actually said anything was
for sale. Not in the title or description. It just said something like "The
Mark-8
was an Intel 8008 based machine with 256 bytes RAM. It was introduced
in July 1974 ..."
Best Regards
