I remember having such a book! It's gone now..I think the publisher was
Scelbi Publications? I have an old Intel data book with 8008
info (mostly clock drive etcs) that might be useful. Though there are
sites that have pdf scans of both the 4004 and 8008 datasheets. I also have some
Sclebi publications spiral books: one on an assember and another
on a text editor listing full source (asm listings on asr33) and programming
explanations. Contact me if you'd like copies.
I'd like to get my 4004s doing something - please post if you
come across something to do with those in your search - I think Osborne
had a 4004 cookbook as well as alot of 8008 material.
Regards,
Heinz.

Subject: 8008 book identification
Forgive me if this is common knowledge, but I haven't been able to dig up any
information with a search engine, probably due to my very vague search terms...
Around 1974-6 I had a book that covered 8008 system design, in a kind of cookbook
fashion. I'm thinking it might have been published by Ohio Scientific, but that's
far from reliable. As I recall, the cover was black and it was relatively thick. I built
a 8008 system using it (wire wrapped, with 256 bytes of RAM), but book and computer have
both vanished since then. I'd like to find another copy for nostalgia's sake.
Does anyone have any clues?
