But, the UNUSUAL part about it was that it was designed to work from a
terminal, instead of PC style keyboard and screen. That apparently didn't
work out, so he came out with a keyboard ISA card. (to make the machine
forgettable)
I have a booklet of schematics for a very similar kit, but I don't think
the name is "Micromint". Also, wasn't the UART something like an 8274,
rather than an 8250, shared with DRAM on an ISA board?
