The 8-bit home computer from 1975 you've never heard of
What we have here is a SWTPC 6800 Computer System from 1975. Looking at the machine, you might not guess that this machine is almost as old as the Altair 8800, only coming out about 10 months later! (And about the same age as me!) There are some fundamental differences with the approach this machine takes versus the Altair and some other neat features. Watch to see what's going on inside this machine.
There will be a few videos on this machine as I'm having an amazing time exploring it, so look for more neat stuff.
