I am thinking of compiling a list of objects or instruments or
whatever from the early days that included a microprocessor, eg
What do you mean by 'early days'?
An arcade biorythm machine I had for a while it had an
Intel 4004 in it
A Facit printer we used at work it had 4 intel 4040 in it (I cant
remember the model number)
I have a card from an HP item that has an 8008 on it
If you've got the part number of the board, the first 5 digits (before
the hyphen) are the model number of the instruemnt that first used it,
padded out with 0's
An HP 3562A has 68K and a 2900 bitslice (I have a
working one)
A R&S RF test set with a 4004 (I kept the CPU board)
There was a Fluke data logger, a 2240 IIRC, that was controlled by a
4040. And I think some of the optional interface cards also had 4040s on
them,
The Intel UPP (Univeral PROM Programmer) had a 4040 in it, but that might
be a little late for you
I think everyone here knows that the PDP11/34 programmer's panel (KY11)
is controlled by an 8008
