memory if I recall. The "monitor" was my TV set.

Cassette recorders? Cassette recorders! Hell son, I wrote the book on
cassette recorders for computer data storage!

Literally. I was even paid for it, although the company never
published it -- for some odd reason.

The really odd thing is that you can find the book listed in several
on-line book stores. :-)
