In the mid/late 70s, when I was at Uni, I had a vacation job and worked 
on a project involving the 6100 uP.

Initially, I was let loose on a simple singe board dev system (if you 
can call it that), a simple keyboard, 7 segment display etc, as was 
common at the time.

Eventually, I was trusted to use a 'real computer' - laughable by 
today's standards but ..... . It was a typical (at the time) 'Pizza Box' 
6100 based unit, I'm pretty sure it had toggle switches for data and 
address set up etc but I used other machines around then and it was 40 
years ago, the usual LEDs etc. I/O was teletype etc.- no CRT etc.  I'm 
sure at the time, Intersil were the only make of the 6100 and probably 
made the Pizza Box.

Purely for old times sake, I'd like to try and acquire one- if the price 
is right.

Does anyone know the beast, please?
