Sol terminal in Polular Electronics July 1976

Here is how Stan Veit remembers it. http://www.pc-history.org/sol.htm The stripped-down terminal version Lee (Felsenstein) designed for the magazine article had a personality module, but only had limited RAM memory. It was still more intelligent than most "glass teletypes," so it was called The SOL Intelligent Terminal. The full version was to come in two styles. The less expensive one had a simple keyboard and only one slot for expansion. It was called The SOL-10, and very few were ever built. The second model was a complete computer with an excellent keyboard and a card cage with five slots. It was called The SOL-20, and provided enough memory for general computer applications. When the prototype was complete, the Processor Technology crew headed for New York City to demonstrate it to Les Solomon. The machine had been named The SOL, in his honor. When Bob Marsh revealed the name to me, I called Les and joked, "They're naming the new machine after you - The LES Intelligent Terminal!" Michael Holley www.swtpc.com/mholley
