I had a homebrew system built around a Zilog Z80-MCB in the late
seventies.  Tape storage (I never did get the head-per-track 1MB drives
from Newman Computer working right), a surplus OCLC terminal, and a
Selectric printer with homebrew electronics.  The first computer I
programmed was an IBM 1620 in the mid sixties, though.  An odd machine.
