I have the version labeled "Olson 8080" with full front panel (toggles and
blinkenlights!). Too cute to sell. :)

I just like the size and configuration. I've been looking for one for a
while, it seems they were sort of common at one point. They were
whitelabeled by Bell & Howell (educational system) and Olson. I had a
"cheap attack" a few years ago on one with the full front panel and have
been looking for one for a decent price since then.
I have a similarly sized TEI chassis, but it uses a Constant Voltage
Transformer in the power supply, and it's *very* loud. Louder than my
CompuPro's CVT. I suspect it has a loose lamination or something.
If thats rare then the BYT-8 boards must be worth
a bundle.
The BYT-8 MPU board is pretty common, I don't know if it was sold as a
separate product or what. I've had three, plus two bare, unassembled
boards. The 1/2K RAM board seems to be rare (I know of one in a Bell &
Howell system).
Thanks,
