8008 SBC

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/oFVjI7945CU

In 1972, Intel made history with the 8008. In 2023, Dr. Scott M. Baker, whose home base is here, built upon the success of the CPU by creating a modern Single Board Computer around it. Why not?

With so many Z80 and MOS6502-based SBCs we encounter on the web daily, it's a pleasure to see a completely different approach.

In his video, Dr. Baker presents the machine in detail. And even though the SBC seems to consist of two boards at first glance, the actual claim is indeed accurate.

Not primetime material, but an interesting excursion into Intel's 8-bit world. And since the CPU was also produced until 1983, it marks a lovely anniversary. 💐
