Can anyone direct me to resources for documents regarding this piece of equipment (user manual, schematic, etc.)? TIA

Interesting
Apparently made by MITS the same people that brought us the Alitair 8080 computer.
MITS = Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems a part time business started by an Air Force officer. He is the guy that a dropout from MIT that had a 4K BASIC he wrote on a PDP-8 went to see, the rest is history.
Last I heard the owner of this company had retired to ? Alabama and was practicing medicene at a rural clinic.
Have no clue where you might find schematics or docs. Hugh Still have two Altair 8080's one still works. I use a P-4 for a terminal.
Sorry got the numbers wrong
Altair 8080
And the owner of MITS was Ed Roberts.

There's a good chance that it was a construction project in Popular Electronics (or maybe Radio-Electronics) in the late 1960's or early
1970's. Both magazines were indexed in The Readers Guide to Periodic Literature (or something like that). I remember they had an electronic desk calculator project before they had the computers.Mark Zenier snipped-for-privacy@eskimo.com Washington State resident
Mark,
Possibly a kit... I was a long time subscriber to PE and don't recall (barring 'senior moments') any kit form MITS equipment - but hey, ya never know. I'll try to pursue that angle at the library. Thanks for the reply!
