The stuff on instructions, timing states, interrupts, etc. is about 12 pages.
The 8008 instructions (48) are simple enough that someone just learning how
to write a computer program (Me back then) could understand all of them.
Interesting, back then, 1973, Intel sold a simulator as a Fortran IV program, or
it could be run on a time-share service. Also a cross assembler. The
resident assembler took 2k - 8 1702 EPROMS for their SIM8 microcomputer board.
I have a bunch of stuff on the 8008, some too
much for me to easily copy
completely, including the MCS-8 8008 Users Manual (126 pages).
That sounds interesting. How much of that is just instruction set? If
that chapter is smallish, a copy would be great! I'm looking for info
sufficient to write a simulator, so ISA + exceptions/interrupts/etc.
should do the trick.
In the 1976
Intel Data catalog, there is a 7 page data sheet:
Page 1 Title and block diag.
page 2 Photomicrograph
Page 3 Functional pin description
Page 4,5 Instruction set
Page 6 Ratings, D.C., A.C. characteristics
Page 7 Timing Diagram
Good stuff, but I've already had one offer for a copy. Since it's small,
I'll try to get around to web-izing it. (Intel copyright lawyers be
damned! (At least until they ask me to take it down.))
