This is a landmark July 1974 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine, featuring the historic cover story "Build the Mark-8: Your Personal Minicomputer." Designed by Jonathan Titus, the Mark-8 was based on the Intel 8008 microprocessor and predated the MITS Altair 8800 by six months. This 100+ page issue includes the original construction article, detailed block diagrams, and high-level circuit descriptions. It is accompanied by a rare, large-format schematic diagramspecifically for the Mark-8's complex multi-board architecture.

Condition: Used (Vintage magazine condition; Includes original separate schematic sheet; see pictures for true condition)

Model Number: Volume 45, No. 7

Extra Notes: This specific issue is widely considered one of the most important publications in the history of personal computing. While the magazine provided the concept, users had to order a separate $5.50 booklet for full plans; having the original magazine and the schematic together makes this a "holy grail" for retro-computing collectors. The issue also includes articles by Don Lancaster on calculator ICs and a guide to transistor replacements.
