There doesn’t seem to be an accurate version of the specifications for cyborg Steve Austin’s bionic parts anywhere online, so I have put one together. Below are screen-accurate reproductions of the text.

The only change I made from Jack Cole’s faux computer-graphic displays used in the opening credits of The Six Million Dollar Man was to render the text in mixed case to improve readability; Cole used all upper case.

  1. I’m still waiting for my bionic eye. In fact, I’ve waited so long, I need the bionic arm and leg now.

    I do hope they’ve got the bugs worked out by now and the eye doesn’t still make that annoying noise!
