Here's one: Cramer Intel 8080A Microcomputer
https://vintagecomputer.net/browse_thread.cfm?id=819
Wire-wrapped 8080 system built to compete in the Altair market, and flopped.
" Cramer Electronics Incorporated started advertising this 8080 kit
microcomputer, the "Cramerkit", in late 1975 for $495 (or was it $1495?)
but none were delivered until the spring of 1976. The Cramerkit was
designed by Microcomputer Technique Inc. and was shipped partially
assembled. "

I have a 18 bit homebrew (cpld) with 256Kb ram and just a
bootstrap loader.
I built a 32-bit bit slice processor out of AMD 2903 and
2910 parts. See:
https://pico-systems.com/stories/1982.html
I did write a micro assembler for it and ran a few test
programs. But, the work ahead of me (interfacing memory and
an I/O bus, writing 360 microcode and coming up with a
Pascal compiler and writing my own OS and editor, etc. was
just too daunting and I gave up on it.
