Scelbi

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! SCELBI (SCientific ELectronic BIological, pronounced sell-bee) Computer Consulting was a personal-computer hardware and software manufacturer located in Milford, Connecticut. It was founded in 1973 by Nat Wadsworth and Bob Findley. Initially, they sold hardware (called the SCELBI-8H) based on the first 8-bit microprocessor from Intel, the 8008. The 8H came with 1K of random-access memory and was available either fully assembled or in a kit (consisting of circuit boards, power supply, etc that the purchaser assembled). Some sources credit SCELBI being the first (March 1974, p. 154) advertised personal computer sold in kit form, with advertisements in QST, Radio-Electronics and later in BYTE magazine.
