The Perkin Elmer (né Interdata) 3210 was my introduction to
unix, (edition7) at college.

We had the source, all the source. We had the kernel, the
drivers, assembly of the diagnostic tapes, and the schematics.

A couple of the lecturers did a memory upgrade 1Mb to 4Mb,
with a soldering iron, a tube of rams, and  and a couple of
extra 74138 address decoders upside down on top of the original
ones.

happy days.

-Steve
