Youtube Summary

We solve the crashing problem, which was due to a Control ROM / CRAM board mismatch. Which allows us to finally run the diagnostic test suite. Which gives us a clean bill of heath! If we only had a mouse that worked, we could use the Alto! PARC, whose support has been unwavering, lends us an original mouse on the spot later that day, and I get to try the famed GUI for the first time.
As usual, more technical details in Ken's blog entry:
