Yup.. On that very system, I designed the sections of the first metal
detector I built from scratch (T/R, not BFO) which led to the finding of a
0.25 carat diamond pendant in an area that was not huntable with commercial
units becasue of interfrence, which led to the aquisition of my first
computer (OSI-C1P), and so on.
