I was never able to find one of these 8080 based test computers, but did
win on Ebay a suitcase 8080 test computer made by INTEGRATED COMPUTER
SYSTEMS. It looks like it is a 'clone' of the NEC as it has almost exactly
the same parts, same memory size, same RAM size, same keyboard, displays,
tape in/out, etc. It came with a learning audio tape (no idea what it is
yet) but no manuals. It does interface to a S100 buss and it also has a
built-in extra board for experiments, including a cute motor with a chopper
disc (infra-red).

So I am eventually going to finish testing it (mine had a cracked -5
regulator solder pin - easily fixed) and then see if it helps my
apprentices learn how to use the 9010A WITHOUT my having to help them. The
process in the Fluke 9000 Series Micro-System Troubleshooter Introductory
Training manual is self directed after all...

So keep an eye out for these suitcases - they might be handy for your shop!
Also if anyone has paper on this I'd like a copy either scanned or photocopy.

Thanks!
