<DIV>Thanks Bill.... Flashback! yes the
COSMAC! Nutronics also made an entire set of
kits around this microprocessor... I remember them in byte
magazine back in the early issues... Yes wish you had
kept one! It is one of the early examples we do not have
here for the computer display at the museum here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did not realize the TK-47 system had a
COSMAC processor integrated into it... wow...</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">We
already had eight TK-47s when Ikegami came around trying to switch us to
HK-312 so I would say the RCA came first. As to whether to call them
‘computer’ or ‘microprocessor’ a better term might be ‘microcomputer’ as the
RCA had its own RCA made microcomputer that was sold separately as a “Cosmac”
computer kit. I bought several of them for the technicians to build and
play with so they could understand how the cameras setup worked. The
little computer kits had a composite color output and with a little
programming we made a countdown clock and a slate generator that were somewhat
useful around the facility. At least they didn’t jump up and down a line
like our Cooke clocks and number generator did! Wish I would have saved
one to send for the collection.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
