One of my
collecting goals is to acquire an example of each of
the microprocessor acrhitectures. Now 6502, 8080, 6809, 68000,
Other CPUs to consider are :
TMS9900 (TI99/4A, for example, or some Versatec printer/plotters)
6100 (PDP8-on-a-chip -- DECmates)
Transputer (it's harder to find a computer based on this chip than to
find it on an add-on board for a PC).
6800 (as distinct from 6809)
ARM
LSI11 (in all its flavours)
All the single-chip HP calculator CPUs (ACT, NUT, Saturn, etc).
MIPS R2000, R3000
SPARC
Alpha
Microcontrollers (8048, 8051, PIC, ...)
Hmm... I think I need a bigger list. I'm missing the Transputer
and most of the HP calculator (and one of the MIPS - I have a
DECstation that has a MIPS processor, R3000 IIRC). The rest
of those, I have.
I have a couple of (working) HDS X-terms based on the i960, as well as
a few loose chips (PGA package).
I also have a couple of 4004 chips - one came out of a commercial
kitchen scale, the other out of a non-UPC barcode device for
grocery stores (got it at Dayton, c. 1983)
Some are much easier to find than others ;-)
Indeed.
