Update for subscribers regarding some technical inaccuracy's


o It had an 8-bit word length.
o The RAM was 8 x 265 bit static RAM chips: so only 256 8-bit words of memory!
o The control panel did not have add/subtract/etc. switches. It had 8 toggle switches (where you could set up an 8-bit word), then a pushbutton that when pressed would load that word into the next address in memory. There was also a run/stop toggle switch.
o There was no subroutine stack.
