Decca Crisis. 'Did' that when back to school in 1975 (beside the GEC logger, reminiscent of a church organ console which was no longer on the curriculum).

Autronica KM3/4 - that is the 'thing' still produced by Konsberg for clients in locations difficult to serve with a technician (evidently the middle of the Pacific doesn't count).

It remains possible to instrument sanely if you want bells and whistles too simply make them auxiliary to the basic function (if I remember correctly the Crisis was almost such with the alarm comparators/detectors discrete to each channel and only the digitisation and logging done by scan).

Not even chess?
