How about a MOS technology KIM-1single board computer? 1mhz 6502, 1024 bytes ram, 2048 bytes rom, cassette interface, led display & calculator keypad, or run it through the 40 ma current loop interface to an RCA VP3303 data terminal hooked up to a tv set - membrane keyboard, 40 x 24 display, color, sound, with customizable character set (1970s multimedia!).

Thanks for reminding me about the National Semi SCMP development kit I probably still have. And then there was the Fairchild F8 processor. What a bizarre architecture. Anyone still have one of those RCA 1802 development units with the monchrome TV output?

Never had a KIM-1, but had the Motorola equivalent. Also used to sell the VP3303 as part of a broadcast transmitter control system. There might still be one operating in Chicago...
