QUESTION - to any of the folks out there who
put these kits together originally...
Is this the way you received them from MITS?
With the front panel and/or the power supply
pre-wired and assembled?
No. At least not mine on the 'kit a month' plan.
The way MITS was it wouldn't suprise me if
they did ship out some partially built to fill
demand for kit orders, but it wasn't in my case.
More trivia: The last 'kit-a-month' installment
of $60 got you the CPU chip. By that time generic
8080's were less than that so I just bought an
NEC chip elsewhere to save a few $$.
