Interesting question. Are we limited to production
machines? For me,
prototypes actually seem to hold more interest - it's fascinating to see how a
prototype evolved into a final product (or how bits of it were re-used in
other products), or to see from the various hardware hacks which bits the
designers were having trouble making work.
I'd love to have the wirewrap TTL protos of some of the early
microprocessors. Do any survive?
