Sam's message about the 4004 made me think about
this. Coulson
suggested a good way to get a 4004 would be to find one in an old
cash register. I checked the net for sites for cash register
repair companies, and sent a few e-mails, but none had spare 4004s.
It would be fun and almost educational to outsiders to have a
series of slides showing the evolution of the common Intel chipset,
or memory chips.
Some of the sites I found in the web have photos of the 4004 die. I don't
have the specific pages off-hand but if you go to AltaVista
(www.altavista.digital.com) and do a search on "Intel 4004" you'll run
into it within the first 5 or so hits.
