I found a few web references evenly split between a computer and a

fact, I think that the MITS association with Popular Electronics started
with a "build your own calculator" article.

Supposedly, MITS came out with a hobbyist machine a couple of years
before the Altair called the MITS 816. I haven't found much info about
it. Is it real?
Have you found any more? I looked for MITS ads in Popular Electronics
from about 1971 to 1974. They had many calculators, sometimes the last 2 digits
in the model number = calsulator digits. I think the nmost digits I saw was
14, though. Also clocks, etc.
