[...]the physical architecture (external status register, etc.) seems to link the 8080 more closely to the 8008 (a scion of 4004 ?) than the 8048 is linked to them. From what I read (http://silicongenesis.stanford.edu/complete_...sting.html - interviews with Stan Mazor and Ted Hoff, and they shall know the best), there were two groups in Intel developing 4004 and 8008 more-less simultaneously, from two different initial ideas. Of course they shared some experience and methods... I don't know 8008 but from I've read now on 4004 and what I remember from my early 8080 and Z80 days, IMHO the 8048 resembles 4004 closer than 8080. I will continue on this topic in the other thread, as this got OT. JW |
