Ever seen a Cromemco Cyclops in the wild?

[William Sudbrink]

Hi Tim,

I have 1 and a half "in the wild" Cyclops cameras (Cyclopi? whatever) and
three board sets.  I demonstrated a real Cyclops as well as my repro at VCF
East.  If you haven't seen my web site:

Both Terry Walker and Harry Garland have retail Cyclops cameras and they say
that Roger has one too.  I visited Terry in San Jo and he kindly gave me a
personal demonstration of his, driven by a little FPGA board that he came up
with.

I think a Stanford AI lab has one in a display case. Any others out there?

It was supposedly "commercial" but I don't even remember ever seeing an ad
for the Cyclops from Cromemco and I had a really good stash of Cromemco
literature and hardware.

I do remember the BYTE article where you pop the top off of a DRAM chip to
make a Camera but that was 1983-ish, nearly a decade after the Cromemco
Cyclops was supposedly "commercial". In the discussions I had in the 80's
none of us seemed to know about the Cromemco Cyclops having preceded it.
