I wouldn't normally post this reply back to this group, but the Digicomp I is such a beauty that I couldn't resist. I still have one--it sits in my machine room. I don't know where the documentation is anymore--but the odds are that it's around here somewhere--I'm careful never to throw out stuff like that. I had some minor problems with mine. A minor crack in the plastic which I easily fixed years ago, and the loss of all the springs that held back the selector rods. I replaced all the springs with little rubberbands from my retainer I was wearing at the time (we're talking mucho YEARS ago, gang) which made the unit somewhat harder to cycle (the springs had much less tension than the rubberbands) but it still worked fine. One interesting feature of the unit was that you could change the logic sense by pulling open the top and replacing the red plastic logic levers -- so you could get AND/OR/NOT for each of the 8 levels. It's definitely a collector's item now. I would be unwilling to part with it permanently, but I might be willing to lend it out on some basis for copying -- but that wouldn't be an easy copying job. --Lauren--
