Surprising number of RMAs being generated by PCS

[ubuysa]

I know quite a few home computers were available in kit form, Sinclair had long offered their other products as kits so it's not surprise they carried on the trend.

I was talking a few years before the Sinclair ZX80. The first kit I built was a Nascom 1, but I'd been building microprocessor controlled systems (programmable but not really general purpose) for a few years before that. The Nascom didn't even have a case, it just lay there on the table with wires everywhere....

I remember a friend having one of those. I still remember the sound of loading from a cassette player. I did a lot of assembly language programming on 8080, 8085, Z80, 6800 and 6500 series microprocessors.
