    This would have been a somewhat advanced project for me in 1978.

    You can do the same thing with some 556 timers and skip looking for an old Atari computer.

    I actually did do that in 1978 with a 556 and a pair of 555's a handful of pots a bunch of switches and about 70 caps.

    Wow !!! I have an old Atari 800 computer. Back around 1979-80 my "home system" consisted of an Atari 800, a single sided single density disc drive, and an interface module used to drive an Epson Dot Matrix printer.

    I was firmly in the Commodore camp in the 80s.

    I would make a joke asking you about whether or not she's hot, ala "That 70's Show" style but there is no need for that.

    I was about 14 that year and had an affair with ... the smell of rosin core solder.

    i was mostly playing around on the Vax during the 80's. Unfortuantely I din't own the Vax. But I wished I did. The school I went to owned it. But the did let me use it now and then .

    I still want an answer to that question.

    I got married in 1978 at age 22. Still married, same girl. Damn, that seems like such a loooooong time ago.
