but only hypthetically. the last one I saw was in a scrap
yard. they prolly made a couple Fords with it by now. :)

It woould be an interesting challenge; the scale of circuit
integration was so low that previous designs might actually
be repairable, but I dunno if there is anyone who has the
expertise to do it.

My own experience with antique car engines and drive trains
reveals exceptional degrees of subtlety in design which was
not documented.  I would imagine several orders of difficulty
worse with pre 88 computers. I have a desktop out in the barn,
which is literally the 'desktop'. the keyboard built right into
it. The 'case' would hold a base fiddle, and I think sometimes
of opening it up, but then think, Naaaaa, I already got a life.
