It was an 8-bit machine built using TTL logic chips alone i.e. no microprocessor\, and general design of EDUC-8 was similar to the DEC PDP-8 minicomputers of the era. Surprisingly there is active group of people building recreations of the original design and a kit of parts is available. \nThe presentation will describe the reasons Jim Rowe designed and published the machine\, the technical details of the machine\, aspects of programing the machine\, its construction and demonstrate a working EDUC-8.
