The museum is looking for the MITS (which stood for Micro Instrumentation
and Telemetry Systems) 7440 Programmer unit. This device, connected to the
MITS 7440 calculator, was availbale in assembled or kit form. The programmer
provided a means by which the 7440 calculator could be programmed, with programs
ranging from 128 to 256 steps (depending on the amount of memory installed in
the programmer) in length. Programming capabilities included looping and
branching functions, allowing for rather complex operations to be performed
automatically. Advertisement above is from the 1974 timeframe.
