I remember the articles for the PE champ in Practical
Electronics. I was desperate to build one but at the
time I had neither the expertise nor the funds to
build it - if memory serves me correctly the CHAMP was
constructed on Veroboard with heaps of cross-board
wiring. A few years back I again considered building
one, but the challenge today lies in obtaining many of
the rarer parts. Still - maybe someone has a completed
CHAMP project out there somewhere ?

Do you also
rememebr the PE CHAMP (along with the
CHAMPprog and
CHAMPUV)?
That brings back memories (no pun intended :-)). I
remember thinking
"that's neat" and then within a few months ETI
one-upped it several
Times over by starting an 8080 design (at least I
think it was 8080,
Certainly it was 8-bits). Some time later PE came
out with the UK101.
I'm pretty sure I have all the PE articles for both
of those around
Somewhere and possibly the ETI ones (I used to buy
PE every month from
About 1978 to the late 1980s; ETI I just bought when
it looked worth
it).
