The Heathkit ET-3400 is a Motorola 6800 logic trainer, designed to help people understand how the CPU works while allowing them to test designs and theories. The trainer has 2x 2112 Static RAM chips. These are 256 Bits of 4-Bit RAM, paired to give 256 Bytes of 8-Bit RAM (256 Read more
The CES Ed-Lab 980 is an educational trainer, with an AMD 8085 CPU (copy of the Intel 8085) behind the scenes. As can be seen in the photos, the trainer consists of a huge array of inputs, outputs, test points, indicators and switches. The trainer allows the user to test Read more
Pencilbox, by E&L Instruments, is a Logic Designer aimed at allowing a user to quickly build a simple logic circuit to interface to a microprocessor. It can fulfill modest requirements for the design and study of gates, counters, multiplexers and can even interface directly to a microprocessor. (LD-1 Pencilbox User Read more
The Minivac 601 was created by Claude Shannon and built in 1961 by Scientific Development Corporation. Designed as a logic trainer with functional memory and processing capability, though on such a basic level that you can physically see the data being processed, all 6 bits of it. Dispite this, simple Read more
The Compukit 1, built by Limrose Electronics of Cheshire, UK, was designed as simple Logic Trainer for use by schools and education centers to teach people how basic logic gates operated. This logic trainer was considered to be ideal for younger people, being completely safe and “student proof”. The kit Read more
The Digi-Comp 1 form I-Cor Systems was manufactured by E.S.R. for use as a demonstration toy in 1963. It initially sold for $4.99 which is $40 (£30) in 2019. The Digi-Comp 1 in our collection has been re-badged as I-Cor Systems for sale in the UK. The Digi-Comp demonstrates how Read more
