While it might be fun to build, I will keep it as it is ... unlike a
friend of mine. He took the Heath computer add-in for the H-19 computer
and had his students build it. Good news, they received some experience
soldering and putting together a kit. Bad news, they could have bought a
LOT of kits for what that one would have probably brought.

best thing to do with the interface unit?
