Have you found any more? I looked for MITS ads in Popular Electronics
from about 1971 to 1974. They had many calculators,
sometimes the last 2 digits
in the model number = calsulator digits. I think the
nmost digits I saw was
14, though. Also clocks, etc.
In late 1974 their ads were for a 416 which was a 4 channel x 16 led "logic
scope" Built in one of those black bakelite boxes. It sounds like one of
those oscilloscope "multi-channel" adapters that were popular when CMOS
multiplexers came out, like the 4051, but this one used led's instead of am
external scope.
