Pete, < I also have an OLD CPU! It is an 8080 in the original ceramic package. I got it around 1975 or 1976. The oldest machine I assembled on was an IBM 1401. Much of my assembly was on the uCPUs like 8080, Z80, 6800, and 6502. Now I remember, I did do some work in 1983-84 on the AMD 29000 on a Stand Alone Word Processor (that's all it did). > I still have my old H8 (Heath Kit, based on 8080 - came before TRS80) in great working condition. I build it when I was a student at OSU, OR. I vividly remember paying $250 to expand the memory by 8k bytes in the system (static ram - Intel's then famous product 2114s) Goutama
