Just learned about Usagi Electric from this post. Cool stuff. Also... there are plenty of loose threads on the intarwebs to pull on to learn more about this machine. The 70s was a great time for computing. We all know the stories about microprocessors being developed at Intel and TI (and Motorola and MOS.) The micro guys were building something as beefy as they could from the ground up. But this is the story of the mini guys trying to find a way to compete with IBM and DEC (and Harris and Prime and ...) and cutting costs down while maintaining the core of mini-ish functionality. I love this stuff. Props to David for restoring this beast. Thx @xupybd for posting this here.
