I remember one sitting in a corner in the University of Illinois computer science

I turned up some CPU info on it, which I uploaded
to bitsavers/lockheed/sue
Dumps of the programmable parts on the CPU would be nice if anyone has one.
So this was interesting, another in the list of 60s/70s minis - hadn't heard of it
previously.
Are there any known customers/applications that used it? Didn't think I've seen a blinken-light front
panel with worse graphics design however.
I thought it?s pretty neat. Touch panel ? you press the bit position digit labels to
enter that bit.
