better firmware it could be nice but didn't happen.
That makes me wonder if new firmware could be created now? What uP
did it use to control the electronics?
Its my first Hazeltine for my collection. And no, I don't expect I'll
actually be sitting at it doing coding :-P.
I seem to recall the 1420 being built around the 8080. Not sure
about the 1400, but I strongly suspect it's a very similar design.
It was 8048/9 not 8080. The 1500 series was 8080.
