For collectors of vintage tech, this pair of BYTE magazines from 1980 delivers a slice of computing history—ads, articles, and software code from when personal computing was still new. This lot includes the June 1980 (Inter Computer Communications) and September 1980 (Homebrewing) issues.
These are packed with programming guides, hardware hacks, and fascinating ads for now-obsolete gear.
