Tag sale-ing does have its moments. I picked up (after some hard
bargaining) from a retired engineer, a Lab-Volt 355 microcomputer
trainer. Based around a 6502, it has a hex keypad on the right side of
its sloping panel, and another 16-key keypad on the left with keys
apparently used to initiate common "faults" by the instructor. Above
the keypad is a complete LED display which shows in both binary and
digitally the contents of memory, address, stack, accumulator, etc.
This is a big heavy sucker. It has parallel, serial, cassette audio I/O,
digital I/O, device controller connectors on the rear. It also has
expansion slots accessible thru the rear. The former owner says he
still has the manuals, but cannot find them at the moment. I did get
some info from Lab-Volt, but they are just sales brochures.
Any 6502 affectionados out there with some more history on this unit?

Interesting you should mention Lab-Volt. I just picked up one of the four
position workstations/benches along with the installed test equipment, etc.
with all the student test assemblies. It has four sets of logic trainers,
motor experiments, and radio parts along with one set of student manuals. I
didn't realize they also made a microcomputer trainer, but now I'll have to
dig around and see if I can find one :).
