The “villain” of the piece on the Designed in California preview today is Processor Technology and the Sol, a computer I had never heard of before working on these episodes.

@threatresearch @jsnell We lived at the same co-op house at Cal in the 60s and saw him at a reunion about 10 years ago.

@jsnell I remember reading about these in Creative Computing, though I’ve never seen one in person. Definitely one of the more interesting pre-Trinity early systems.

@jsnell I think I knew someone with a Sol 20 back in the day, but the details are lost to the dim times.

@jsnell I used to visit computer stores often in the 1970’s & 1980’s to see what was new, as well as subscribing to many personal computer magazines. Remember Processor Technology & the Sol very well, all these small brands disappeared after the IBM PC arrived 🙁
