I would like to find one, probably for the nostalgia, I still have the my
old program listings.
I saw the recent thread on the EXEC command, I figured out the EXEC command
and wrote a couple of 6800 assembly language programs (play music, dump the
ROMs to the printer, etc). As I recall the format of the command was EXEC
A$, where the string was typically read from the tape as a single file.
Monty, you wonderful person! I will have to try this on my 4052. For this, if
I ever find a 4054, you will get first refusal on my 4052 :-)

They are definitely rare. I know of two of each, the other 4052 being in the
Dutch Computer Museum, but I heard rumours at VCF last year that another 4052
had been sold recently - I hope it was to a collector who will take care of it.
I have yet to hear even a rumour of a 4054 surviving...
