keyboard is missing.
I'm not sure if I'm ready to retreat from the "stick a CPU/floppy PCB
into a terminal" notion on this one yet. The seller seems to be
pretty sure that this was a computer, not just a terminal. If I have
time this weekend (doubtful, but I can dream), I'll dig out the
Hazeltine sample floppy and see what it says about what machine it
might have been associated with.
