Ooooh! That's really cool. My high school had one of these,
used it before we talked them into buying an Altair.
The punch card unit was pretty spiffy, I think it used
8 of the row bits? And there were instructions you could
punch that were not available from the keyboard. The cards were
the punchamatic type: hanging chad and all. When I was 15 it
was a lot of fun to program.
I'd love to know what the memory technology was inside
-- acoustic delay, static RAM, or what?
