I ran the user group for the MK14, one of the first UK "home computers" back
in 1978(ish).

The spec for this machine, before any kind of addons was:

SC/MP processor, 256 bytes of RAM, 512 bytes ROM, led digit display, numeric
keypad, and no way of saving your code!  A cassette interface and other
goodies soon followed: the cassette interface was so slow, you could make
out the individual bits.  Eventually I had 1 1/2 K of ram, and a rather
feeble video output, but that was really so late in its career to be
pointless.

I've got a picture somewhere of the rats nest that was my system, I'll have
to scan it into my web page.
