Rats! I had noted that auction, and was planning on bidding, but ended up
being away from the computer for the last few days of it.
Anyway, if you need any help getting it running, drop me a line. I ended up
with a pretty good knowledge of the design after debugging mine (recent
construction, but original design).

Subject: Mark-8 *Faints*
'Evening all! :)
I don't quite know what to say... I suppose I just
wanted to tell some people. I'd purchased a computer
on ebay listed as, "another VERY EARLY HOMEBREW
COMPUTER," a while back for $9.00. It didn't come in a
bit over a month... I contacted the owner and waited
some more, but had pretty much given up hope on it. It
arrived today... I peered about inside... It appears
to be a Mark-8. Has at least the same CPU board... I
came very close to thumping onto the floor... It has a
homebuilt case... it's about sewing machine sized. It
has 8 ports of some type, a tape port, a control port.
Inside, it has the CPU board, some input type board,
some output type board, a board labelled add, and 2
1011 1k memory cards, all attached to a homemade bus.
I know it is missing at least a 74xx something chip
and the power supply, but... I'll put up pictures of
it sometime in the next day or two.
Thanks for hearing me rant! :)
Oh yes! Thanks, too, to the kindly people who helped
me out with the AT&T 3B1 - your help was so very
appreciated! :)
Andy
