[sdiy] Nostalgia :)

[Scott Gravenhorst]

I remember receiving that issue.  The UJT really dates it.

I still have a SWTPC 6800 system.  Last time I turned it on, it was still
working.  I bought lots of parallel IO for it.  I keep wanting to make some
kind of fancy programmable EG with it.  I even have an assembler that I wrote
in GWbasic, runs on a PC and uploads to the 6800 via the serial control port.
 One whole megahertz...  

No time... No time...
