I did not write what was quoted below as being from me. I think a
couple paragraphs got dropped or something. I don't have the original
article that shows who it should be correctly attributed to.

Somehow it looks like attribution, and your comment in the thread, got
snipped out of the response from woodelf. Your 'part' in the thread
was:

I was able to reach back to the original article only because I'v found
a great email client (sylpheed) that threads the discussions here. I'd
be lost without it.

Is that an Intercept Jr? Sure looks like it. Handy that LEDs don't
fog paper. :-)
It reminds me of an article I saw, with software, for hanging a relay
off of the Q-line of an 1802 on an original PopTronics Elf for use as
an enlarger timer. You set the time on the toggles, fired up the CPU,
and used the IN button to fire the enlarger for a preset number of
seconds.
Given how much enlarger timers were 30 years ago, this was an
effective use of a $100 computer. Kinda still is.

They _were_ expensive back then, being a hardware type I built my own
about 25 years ago. It divided the 50Hz mains frequency down to 1 Hz
and fed that to a pair of bcd counters with the count set by thumb-wheel
switches (with a red led to illuminate them...). It's still in use
controlling my Americam-made Omega emlarger of the same vintage.
