-      I still have the Jolt system I purchased in 1977. I have the CPU, 2k EPRom board, Power supply and all the original documentation. It used a machine language program blown into 1702A EPROMs It was used to control audio sources (reel to reel, carts stuido and network ) for a radio station. It was used very successfully for many years before the advent of the modern hard disc based play out systems.

-      Always reliable, it still functions (at least the last time I tried it about a year ago).

-      A truly great little computer!

-      Hi,\
-      In 2015 I had the chance to get hands on the JOLT. Unfortunately it was not for sale. I would love to get this early computer. Any offer welcome.\

-      Microcomputer Associates was one of my first employers. I worked with Manny and Ray packing the kits and soldering the assembled boards. I was one of the first 5 employees - Ray, Manny, Frank, Darrel and myself.\
-      I would love to get in touch with these guys again. Ray, Manny and Frank were my mentors.

-      The JOLT was my first computer. It was a great little machine. I did a number of interesting projects in the physics lab, connecting it geiger tubes and the like for counting decays per unit time, etc.
-
-      Anyway, I still have it, as well is some of the literature. I could post some photos, if I could figure out how to do it. This form does not seem to allow it.
