My Brain-In-A-Jar Project

What number comes after 4004? Retroshield 8008. Time to experience the world's first 8bit processor.

• A used 8008 chip included (read below)
• Intellec 8/Mod 8 Monitor by Intel, Version 3.0, 14 April 1975
• SCELBAL on SCELBI. (Floating Point BASIC, first on 8bit processor. Thanks to Mark G. Arnold for permission.)
• Retroshield/Teensy adapter board included in the kit. (but you need to buy the Teensy4.1 itself here**).
• heatsink for 8008 (while supplies last)

Read carefully: I was happy to find a batch of 8008 chips at reasonable cost but they are USED and SCRATCHED :) Lots of scratches. See pictures. Seller helped me pick the best ones. Still, these are the worst chips I have seen in my life. I was ok with that because it gives me a chance to play w/ 8008. Please please review the pictures and if you prefer to have a clean 8008, then you can get the pcb only option and buy a brand-new 8008 chip.

What do you get?

Following options are available:

• Asembled and tested (RetroShield 8008 and Retroshield/Teensy adapter board)
• Kit including the 8008 processor, you solder through-hole parts. (RetroShield 8008 and Retroshield/Teensy adapter board)
• PCB only (SMT parts already soldered for you)

What makes it special?

You can "breadboard in software" meaning you can design, change, update your hardware platform as easily as modifying the source code and recompiling code.
