I'll need to double check the name, but the Mac-8 Emac computer (Japanese)
has a full front panel (8080 or Z80 CPU, can't recall.)

Can you guys help me build a definitve list of microcomputers that had
minicomputer-like front panels with toggles and blinkenlights?
Here's the list I've got so far:
Intel Intellec-4
Intel Intellec-8
Scelbi 8H
Mark-8
Datanumerics DL8A
Altair 8800
BYTE, Inc. BYT-8 (and Olson 8080)
IMSAI 8080 (and OEM versions)
Altair 680
Ithaca Intersystems DPS-1
I'm sure there were more (seven-segment LEDs don't count). I'm only
looking for micros right now, but I'd also be interested in a list of
mini's, and I'd especially like to know which computer first used this
human interface.
Thanks,
Doug
