Maybe he was talking about an Altair 8008. Intel 8080 processor,
S-100 bus, front panel with status and data LEDs. Address/data
toggle switches, and a few control toggles.
Toggle in the paper tape loader in binary. Then load the system

from paper tape, and then feeding the program source from another tape.
