My brother built one of those from a kit when I was a kid. I wrote my first computer game in 8080 assembler, in 128 BYTES of ram.

He donated it to the San Jose tech museum I think.

I was at the museum yesterday and have just checked my pictures - the plaque next to one of the 8800s says "Gift of Craig Payne", and the plaque next to the other says "Gift of Louis Wheeler".

Edit: Actually, that was the Computer History Museum at Mountain View. I haven't done the Tech Museum in San Jose yet.

I built one of these from a kit for my high school, they bought one and needed some one to assemble it for them, I was a sophomore at the time and a computer club formed around it immediately. I wonder what ever happened to it.
