Hi Gene,
What sort of pictures do you want? I'm taking hi-res photos of everything.
The pictures cover the top external and internal and package, but the
underside of the boards are hidden at present.
The boards are silk screened with the signals on top, but the wiring is
a "rats-nest", literally.
Othello? I thought it might have enough memory to play NIM, but I'm
surprised anything like othello was possible.
This machine is packaged in a 22"X14"X8" sloping console cabinet. Blue
enameled steel on the base and brushed aluminum with red silkscreen
surrounding the incandescent lamps and tons of switches on the top
It has storage(switches) for 16X8 bit instructions, An acc and 16 or
32?X8 bit memory registers.

I've started restoring a National Radio
Institute (remember the 60's
pop-sci ads?) model 832 computer.The system was functional when I
received it about
If that's the machine I'm thinking of, a math teacher I had in 10th
grade had built one and written a version of Othello for it. We used
it to play against a Commodore 64, running Othello as well. It was
pretty neat.
Do you have any photos of the computer?
tnx!
