I have in my attic, three Able mini computers complete with a HOP box (hand operated processor). set the switches and press insert. byte one done.
these things were used by NASA on the Galileo Probe sent to study and photograph Jupiter and its moons. but its claim to fame was as the processor for the Synclavier.
Oh the good old days. I wonder if I could set it up again.
