Much like the Digi-Comp I, the Digi-Comp I Version 2.0 is a mechanical digital computer sold in kit form. The the Digi-Comp I Version 2.0 contained three mechanical flip-flops, providing an ability to connect them together in a programmable way using thin vertical wires that are either pushed, or blocked from moving, by a number of cylindrical pegs. The whole arrangement was 'clocked' by moving a lever back and forth. With a three binary digit readout of the state of the flip-flops, it could be programmed to demonstrate binary logic and perform various operations such as addition and subtraction.
Unlike the Original Digi-Comp I, the Digi-Comp I Version 2.0 was made out of relatively inexpensive binder`s board instead of polystyrene.;Provenance:
