I've always wondered why the National IMP-16 chipset is so widely
ignored. Remarkable for its time (1973) in that it was a 16-bit

Were there any 8008/8080 designs implemented without at least one
other member of the support chipset?

The 8008 is much more general purpose.
Hmm. I'll agree that it's quite limited, but it's certainly not
the only processor chip "set" in history.
