Description

From the owner: "I just went through old email; I got my PROM from Cameron Cooper, and Wendell programmed them. I used to have the BW monitor that Steve Jobs modified to have a video input (basically he soldered a couple of wires onto the TV PC board, drilled a hole in the case, and mounted a connector) but that is long gone as well".
Renamed from "Ex Employee 1" to "Elmer Baum 1" (he owned more than one).

History
