Re: Monroe Programmable Electronic Calculator

Ooooh! That's really cool. My high school had one of 
these around 1975 or 1976, we used it before we talked them

into buying an Altair. The punch card unit was pretty
spiffy,
I think it used 8 of the row bits? And IIRC there were 
instructions you could punch that were not available from 
the keyboard. The cards were the votamatic type: hanging 
chad and all. It was a lot of fun to program, and pretty 
interesting and complex for a calculator.

I'd love to know what the memory technology was inside 
-- acoustic delay, static RAM, or what?
