[cctalk] Voyager 1 revived. [was: Z80 vs other microprocessors of the time. ]

Sorry, I guess this should dead end, it is too far off track. I will still post this since I was among those misled into thinking it had an 1802 microprocessor. The galileo had an 1802, but it suicided. from Wikipedia: It has been erroneously reported[41] on the Internet that the Voyager space probes were controlled by a version of the RCA 1802 (RCA CDP1802 "COSMAC" microprocessor), but such claims are not supported by the primary design documents. The CDP1802 microprocessor was used later in the Galileo space probe, which was designed and built years later. The digital control electronics of the Voyagers were not based on a microprocessor integrated-circuit chip. <pre>--Carey</pre>
