Software running on the PIC 12C508 Microcontroller. Interestingly I just looked up if these were still available and they are. In mid-1999 I paid $1.88 for them from DigiKey.

I am not particularly interested in packing up individual parts and shipping them as I am packing up the whole house and spending some time ...
