Used one of these for work from about 1982 for a few years. 64k of RAM, discs were about 160k each drive. Was still able to do a lot with them even though minimal hardware and software compared to today. Software was Wordstar, Datastar and Supercalc runn8ng CP/M which was like DOS, but commands were back to front.
Congratulations, it's great to see another 70's computer brought back to life. I hate to say it though: I couldn't hear you! Between your whispering and the rubbing of the mike I made out about 1 out of every 8 words.
I think your accomplishment here is fantastic! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for your comment - I'll try and share a bit more as I do more with the SB.
Reviving great memories! (Have still floppies from that time... unfortunately had to toss the HW due haveing to move...)

I just found one today and it turns on but doesn’t boot. And the screen is wonky. Can you lend some advice on how to repair it?
@deepspacepilot, can you record a video showing what it is (and what it isn't) doing? I love to see these machines...
Will it run a alien organism armageddon program?
