#1802 #RCA #retrocomputer In August of 1976 Popular Electronics released an article by Joseph Weisbecker introducing the COSMAC ELF, a tiny, very basic "trainer" computer based on the RCA COSMAC 1802 CPU. Some manufacturers took note of the ELF and introduced their own spins on the concept. One of those was Quest Electronics, which brought out a massively improved version called the Super ELF. This machine has been on my hitlist for years but the highish prices they fetch were a turnoff. I finally found one for reasonably cheap, and I'm eager to see if I can get it working for my upcoming COSMAC ELF documentary video!
