The handwritten one? I'd say so. The Ace started in '82 and ended in 83 so
it's a good guess. Sadly neither Richard Altwasser or Steve Vickers want to
talk to me about the Ace, which is a shame. I've found people from the likes
of Tandata, Newbury Labs, Grundy, Memotech, Nine Tiles and Camputers who
like talking about the history; shame the people who were part of the
pivotal time of home computing are silent. One of the Newbury people also
did work for Torch *and* had a hand in the Enterprise 64.

got to find them! Watch this space.
