Says it's 8080 based, with editing features (e.g. protected fields) and two display pages. The announcement claims a top speed of 9600 bps, however. The "New Products" section for that month is certainly interesting. Intersil announced their Intercept Jr. evaluation kit for the IM6100. American MIcrosystems trotted out their development system for the 6800. EAI announced a new hybrid computer system. North Star had a floating-point board for their systems. Interdata introduced two new minis. But the thing that caught my eye was the HP 548A "logic clip"--a device built into a DIP test clip with an LED for each pin. It featured self-seeking logic and would display the state of all pins for RTL, TTL, DTL and CMOS logic families. It sounds very cool--and I have never seen one in the flesh. If you're an IEEE CS member, you can pick up a PDF of the "new products" section from the IEEE web site. Otherwise, I can pass it on to you for browsing. Best regards, Chuck
