Ooooh! That's really cool. My high school had one of
these around 1975 or 1976, we 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 IIRC there were
instructions you could punch that were not available from
the keyboard. The cards were the votamatic type: hanging
chad and all. It was a lot of fun to program, and pretty
interesting and complex for a calculator.
I'd love to know what the memory technology was inside
-- acoustic delay, static RAM, or what?
