It ran up to sixteen terminals in BASIC (we had only four - two locally and two by dial-in). Years later I found out that it was designed around the 74181 4-bit ALU chips! To us it was a fantastic machine and it fit on a desktop. I'm still fond of that computer.

I still have the MM5738 calculator chip from National Semiconductor as well as a 10 digit LED display that I purchased at the time because of the book.

Interestingly I found an article about a related calculator hack from 1975.
