I was a mere repair technician for the Navy when I came across the development kit at a trade show. It was running a clock program.

It was around $300 bucks IIRC. I then realized that you could SIMULATE logic circuits with this thing that would take many, many TTL packages to do the same job.

So, I plunked down the cash, took it home, soldered it up, and punched in the clock code.

"Great!" said the wife. "We now have a $300 dollar digital clock."

It was amazing what could be written using only 256 bytes of RAM!
