G,
Do you know of any programmable computer today which
has a programmable
front panel?
If you're not wedded to real hardware lots of emulators around, many with
more impressive and luminiferous than the Altair. To wit:

Hi All,
Work on my emulator program for the IBM 7094 has progressed to a point
where it should be of interest/entertainment for others. While still
incomplete, and far from being capable of running the IBSYS operating
system, it is still fun to watch as it runs the diagnostic programs.

Subject: looking for a computer with front panel
Hello,
I came across a screening of 'Wargames', with a presentation afterwards
about the computers and hacks used in the film ... and I was just blown
away by the front panel of the IMSAI :)
Do you know of any programmable computer today which has a programmable
front panel? Are there maybe some machines for education? Or are there
classic computers which have this feature and are less rare (and
expensive) than the IMSAI?
thanks!
