The microcomputer revolution in electronics is spreading so rapidly that it is difficult to educate enough people in the technology both quickly and thoroughly. LLL's MST-80B was developed as a way to speed learning in in-house training courses, and it is now being widely used outside LLL. The MST-80B trainer is a complete, self-contained microcomputer system housed in a standard briefcase. The trainer uses the Intel 8080A 8-bit microprocessor (CPU), and has its own solid-state memory and a built-in keyboard and display for input/output. The trainer is furnished with a permanent ''monitor'' program (in read-only memory) that allows users to easily enter, debug, modify, and run programs of their own. 8 figures.
