Sorry if not linked correctly - looking through the list via the archives.. "reply" option doesn't seem to work (at least for me - older Chrome)

I believe they were, although I never had much experience with the 4004... I did play a bit with the 8008 - and wrote a simulator/emulator for the 8008 system I had, a Canadian: MIL (Microsystems International Limited) MOD8 (Modular-8) it was also available as: GNC8 (Great Northern Computers) 8008 You can get MOD8 simulator from "Daves Old Computers" and actually experience using an 8008 based system including the built in "MONITOR-8" ROM software as well as "Scelbi 8008 BASIC" (one of the earliest) - source to both provided. If you care to, I included ASM88 (my 8008 cross assembler) so you can try writing and running 8008 code! -Be aware that MOD8.COM itself is pretty old and is 16-bit DOS software. This means it WON'T run under modern Windows, but it does work well in DosBox (I recommend the one I have on my site) Dave Dunfield - https://dunfield.themindfactory.com -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Search "Dave's Old Computers" see "my personal" at bottom!
