Yep, it had 6800 processor, a hex keypad and LEDs for output.  No disk, No
tape and you used ML to program it.  It was a semester project my senior
year('83) in high school electronics.

The second semester I did a wire-wrapped AD/DA converter card for an Apple
][.  We used it in physics to calculate the speed of a ball bearing
rolling down a track.   (That was fun, had to place a cup on the floor
after calculating the bearings trajectory.  If the bearing landed in the
cup you passed, otherwise you failed.)
