Yes, there are many errors in them. Lots of typos, and lots of blatant
errors too, that seemed to be typical of the stuff from that publisher for
some reason.

Thinning my collection of collectible books.
If anyone is interested, make an offer for Tab Books: "How To Design
Build & Program Your Own Working Computer System" by Robert P. Haviland
Pub. 1979 . 308 ppg. This is a complete how-to for the SC/MP
microprocessor.
Reply to me directly. Postage will be from Western North Carolina.
Strangely, I'm sure I have the same title from the same publisher
sitting on my shelf but it's for an 8080. When I was younger my Father
built the design on some veroboard and found many errors in the book.
One of these days I'll get around to finishing it!
