- What were the key differences between the Intelec 4 and our Intelec 8?
- What are the possible accessories for Intelec 8? We have a dual floppy cabinet is
all.
Years I saw an Intel blue colored standalone paper tape punch and reader(we would like
one!)
Is there a good site that addresses all and lots about intelec systems anyone can
recommend?
Thanks in advance!

The Intlec 4 was no more or less a computer than the Altiar or IMSAI was. It didn't
typically have as much RAM but one could write and run code on it.
As for the F14 processor. For the purpose used, it was likely a DSP. More intended to do
matrix multiplication using adds and shifts. This would be similar to Intel's early
try at a DSP.
The F14 processor was said to control the flight surfaces. Like the Intel 2920 ( not to be
confused with the AMD bit slice part) it likely ran tight loops of signal processing
operations using tables of lookup coefficients.
