After a fair amount of effort on my part, I found and obtained a
copy of the July 1974, Radio-Electronics mag that has the cover
story "Build the Mark-8, your personal minicomputer". I was
less than delighted to find that in this instance, R-E left out
most of the construction details (including any skematics).
They have an offer on the second page of the article where
you should order the kit with circuit board patterns, and
the rest of the details. The article includes some theory of
ops, a parts list and a few photos.
Although I'd love to see all these old mags on-line, I guess
the copyright issue will prevent that from happening.

Anybody know where I can find a reprint of the Mark 8 article? A good
web-ized version would do the trick.

If you hadn't posted to the list I would not have seen this as earthlink
is in my killfile due to excessive porn spam. IF anyone needs to email
me they will ahve to use another ISP.
earthlink.net is one of the better anti-spam ISPs. They were one of the
first to win a lawsuit against a spammer. For details, see

What you are seeing are most likely forged headers, an almost universal
practice among spammers. If you can, take a minute to look at the real
headers to track down the offending site. It is often an unsuspecting site
that left their mail server open to be used as a spam relay. I've had
good success in getting sites to close up these relays, get spammers to
lose their accounts with the originating ISP, and even get entire ISPs
shut-down (at least temporarily) by their upstream ISP. Try it -- it's a
fun and rewarding hobby :-)
