Yes I remember the article (it was humor) because a friend asked if I
could build the same thing for him. I think it was Popular Electronics,
there were no tech details so I'm sure it wasn't BYTE or KILOBAUD.
Anyway, I was skeptical that it was real so I told my friend to contact
the author before I took any of his money. My friend contacted the
author for details. The author admitted he had embellished the
capabilities and the article was more fiction than fact, although
theoretically possible to do at the time.
No, we didn't have a subscription to popular electronics at the
time - but we did subscribe to BYTE and Kilobaud. God, I wish Wayne
Greene would reinvent Kilobaud... that was a _great_ magazine! What
ever happened to him?
