6800 SOL

Just wanted to share this with you - Santa dropped off a very cool version of the Motorola 6800 MEK6800D2 trainer yesterday. The system was installed in a custom-fitted case for use in a System Design course taught at the University of Waterloo (Ontario,Canada), home of WATFOR and WATFIV. There is a remote LED display relocated to the "dashboard" area above the keyboard and a power supply is built in. Cassette and expansion interfaces are brought out very neatly to the rear panel. I don't know when this system was encased, but it could have actually predated the SOL-20! I have no idea if the Hamilton Enclosure people knew of Processor Tech or vice versa - maybe it was just a common interest in Danish Modern design? Anyone have any more info?
