I recall that ELF was the name for a single board 6502 based
microcomputer whose schematics were first published in Popular
Electronics back in about 1978? I think that a kit was then sold by a
company called Newport Electronics.  It was programmed of course in
machine code -- I'm not sure whether a BASIC interpreter was even
available.  Anyway, I almost bought one, but as a high school kid I
could not afford the <$200 price tag.  I did dream about buying one
though...

Just thought that I would share this piece of nostalgia, since just
about every other usage of ELF has been mentioned. Anybody else
remember this distant ancestor of today's PC's?
