A fan of the Sol computer, Stan Sokolow, ran a newsletter for Sol users from August, 1977 through the end of 1983. For the first two years of its life it was known as SOLUS News, and later changed its name to Proteus / News. Over the years, its readership, size, and publication rate varied, but it is amazing it lasted as long as it did, living about twice as long as did Processor Technology itself. All of the issues here are in PDF format, as image-only scans. The issues of Volume 0 were supplied by Barry Watzman.

| Popular Electronics, July 1976 by Robert M. Marsh and Lee Felsenstein cover, page 35, page 36, page 37, page 38 This is the article that introduced the Sol computer to the world. As a dodge to get around the fact that the publisher of Popular Electronics didn't want any more articles on computers, the Sol was presented as an "intelligent terminal." Note that Sol as presented in this article has an integrated cassette player where the numeric keypad ended up, and the motherboard is very different from what was eventually shipped. The article offered free copies of the PCB artwork and drilling guide for the price of a SASE. Glenn Herrmannsfeldt did so back when and was kind enough to send a copy of it for this web site. It should be noted that this isn't he final design and in fact is reported to have quite a few errors. Artwork and schematics, 8 pages, 600 KB |

The first Processor Tech Access newsletter, Volume One, Number One, is presented in a format that is like the original newsletter. However, it was so painful to get Word to do anything approximately like the complex column layout was incredibly time consuming and painful. The subsequent issues have not recreated the original layout. Instead they just use a linear flow. If any Word experts want to offer advice, I'm listening.
