Anyway, if you need any help getting it running,
drop me a line. I ended up
with a pretty good knowledge of the design after
debugging mine (recent
construction, but original design).

'Evening all! :)
I don't quite know what to say... I suppose I just
wanted to tell some people. I'd purchased a
computer
on ebay listed as, "another VERY EARLY
HOMEBREW
COMPUTER," a while back for $9.00. It didn't come
in a
bit over a month... I contacted the owner and
waited
some more, but had pretty much given up hope on
it. It
arrived today... I peered about inside... It
appears
to be a Mark-8. Has at least the same CPU
board...
I
came very close to thumping onto the floor... It
has a
homebuilt case... it's about sewing machine
sized.
It
has 8 ports of some type, a tape port, a control
port.
Inside, it has the CPU board, some input type
board,
some output type board, a board labelled add, and
2
1011 1k memory cards, all attached to a homemade
bus.
I know it is missing at least a 74xx something
chip
and the power supply, but... I'll put up
pictures
of
it sometime in the next day or two.
Thanks for hearing me rant! :)
Oh yes! Thanks, too, to the kindly people who
helped
me out with the AT&T 3B1 - your help was so
very
appreciated! :)
Andy
