I have read that it is the July issue of Radio-Electronics that had the plans
for building the Mark-8.  If I could find a copy of the article, I might be
interested in building one...well, if I could get an Intel 8008 somewhere.

I have the April and June 1977 issues of Radio-Electronics that have the plans for
a Signetics 2650 system.  Unfortunately, I do *not* have the May issue which
contains the middle article of the three-parter.  :-(

Well, for people interested in restoring and building and keeping up the
older 8-bit systems, history can be an alive sort of thing.

I recently came across on the WEB a magazine called _Electronics Australia_.
It was and is an electronics experimenter's magazine.  I downloaded a list
of all the projects they have published through many years, starting in
May of 1968.  Check out their WEB sight at:

My appologies to the people from Oz that already knew all this.  I wish I
had know about it a long time ago!!!
