I will have to dig out he small computer handbook from the Dec section
at smecc library and study up on it again! the brain cells are foggy!
another nice go with to display with 8s is the DEC logic trainer
We somehow ended up with a few of these... one goes next to a 8 the
other in toys robots and trainers display and one for offsite which
leaves one extra for trade!
