Pretty neat! The 4004 and 8008 were the first microprocessors I worked
with in school. We had to write a blink the LED program on an 8008
development board. They took a LOT of glue logic outside the chips. The
first computer I built used the MC6802. MUCH simpler to interface to RAM,
ROM, and I/O. I bought the Motorola "MIKBUG" ROM to get started. The
system was wire wrapped and talked to my Lear Sielger ADM-1 terminal. I
later bought a Sunrise Electronics ZAP-80 eprom programmer and used the
cross compiler on The Source to do my development (crash and burn
development). Then bought an integer Basic on audio cassette from
Southwest Technical Products. Then licensed 6800 Basic from Microsoft (a
partnership at the time... my license was signed by Bill Gates). Long time
ago!
