Anyone know anything about the Microkit 8/16

snagged one off eBay (item 390461957738) -- it looked too cool to
resist. Looks to be from the mid-70s, 8080-based, and all I can find
on the 'net is very basic information. Anyone have manuals or software?
There were two others on eBay, but they appear to have been snatched
up in the three minutes I spent composing this mail...

I saw those but, a quick google scared me off. Looks like you need
those keyboards with the $250 ones he was selling and a CRT they sold
to use them. Then you need the tape drives to load the software and
the software which may not exist anymore. The $50 one was tempting
though.
The one I purchased has a 5-pin DIN connector labeled "RF Modulator
Only" which gives me hope that the video interface is nothing too crazy
(probably composite video/TV). The software is of course the million
dollar question...
