  • The 803 is paper tape in and paper tape out typically. For fault finding and testing, however you needed to hook up a 'scope to monitor the accumulator. We will produce some more video showing typical operation.

  • very cool

  • Love the narrator's formal wear!

  • Fair enough; but at least other computers had at least a set of lights on a front panel.

  • Gordon bennett! These early computers had such clunky interfaces, no wonder they were exclusively in the hands of technicians. This Elliott has a particularly strange interface. How can you operate a computer with only a single waveform as a display?
