1970-71 NRI Computer Kit listed on Ebay (or at least part of it)

16 WOMPIN bytes of switches! WOOT! So cool. Anyone here ever seen (or
built) one of these?

BTW: This is not my auction and I don't know the seller. I just
thought it was neater than spit on a biscut.

This link sorta gives a good timeline. Man this thing was ahead of
it's time....
