So you are a little slow in finishing huh. :)
Lets say I homebrewed a computer using a 8008 rather than the Mark-8,
in 1975, and put it on e-bay today. Just because it is not as well
know as the Mark 8 , does this make it less of a collectors item
since it too is a 'original item'?
Ben.
PS. Don't worry I am still designing my XT killer PC from TTL,
so maybie my 12/24 bit cpu will not be ready in 1983 ... umm 2003
instead. Note a TTL computer could still have been designed and marketed
in the 1980's since memory still was the largest price in a computer
system.
ALSO lets not talk about GEORGE, I am tired all this beating around the
Bush.!!
