#PCB #sol20 #retro Welcome to the first of what I call 'Hot Takes' - a series of just minimally edited walk and talk style videos where I pick something recently arrived or interesting that I want to show off and evaluate. This is a rare Sol-PC, which was the board-only version of the Processor Technology Sol-20 that some thrifty hobbyists chose. Same Intel 8080 powered computer with 1kb of ram, but no metal case, no walnut sides, not even a keyboard or power supply. We spend an hour just looking this over, learning more in-depth history about Processor Technology's production of the Sol, and figuring out what we'll need to start this machine up (safely) in a future video.
