Yes, this one had a really good life !.
It's had just about every gadget under the sun plugged into that breadboard, and the main board has been modified no end.
It even had a role in factory life !.
We were installing PLCs in a synthetic fibre plant. We had been told the fast IO cards we needed were on 6 weeks delivery, but it was really 6 months.
To get the plant running in time, I programmed the MK14 to take the fast signals from the plant, and replay them to the PLC a a slower rate.
This is the machine I cut my programming teeth on, and it was fun !.
Very soon after I moved on to Acorn System 1, then Apple ][, and they were fun as well.
Now I've got Arduinos and rPis, but no inclination to do anything with them.
