The PC XT came out in '83, and the Heath/Zenith kit later, so he must have 
built a HeathKit EC-1 (Electronic Computer 
1). <http://www.oldcomputermuseum.com/heathkit_ec1.html>  I think I built on in 
'66 or '67, but I'm pretty sure they 
were discontinued before 1970. I've never met anyone else who has even seen 
one, let alone built one.
