Intel MCS-8 (SIM8-01)
|
The MCS-8 (SIM8-01) is a complete byte-oriented computing system featuring Intel 8008 CPU, 1KB of RAM and 2KB of ROM memory. The system was introduced in 1972 to replace a 4-bit
MCS-4 system based on Intel 4004 CPU and was designed to test and program the 1702 electrically programmable and erasable ROMs.
SIM8-01 board is equipped with 8 PROM cockets wich could be used to load a bootstrap loader
to load and execute programs in RAM, MCS-8 Fortran Assembler and Simulator, or SIM8 hardware assembler.
