Title: MCS-8 microcomputer, CRT readout system (9 Aug 1974) (Engineering Materials)

Miscellaneous ·
OSTI ID:7285140

The MCS-8 Microcomputer is an Intel Corporation 8008 Central Processor Integrated Circuit, interfaced with LLL-designed control logic, which provides experimenters with a complete, low-cost (approx. $500.00) digital computer system. The system has erasable and reprogrammable fixed memory for a set of 48 instructions, and up to 16k 8-bit words of total memory. Applications include the control of fabrication processes, numerically operated machinery, printers, plotters, and keyboards. The MCS-8 can also be used as a logic element; such use can significantly reduce the amount of combinational logic required in a system. 8 drawings (auth)
