I'm going to put it on my list of projects to create a CPU card for my Microtutor that
uses the 1802 instead I think.? I can get some blue PCB stock.? As far as I understand the
1802 is fully backward compatible.
Maybe the 1801s will show up on day.? I've found all kinds of chips I was told were
impossible to locate.

RCA 1801 disappeared from face of Earth forever... You would be better off to purchase

http://www.sunrise-ev.com/membershipcard.htm to use 1802. The 1802 was very successful
microprocessor that replaced 1801 because it required to have a pair of chips to work
together. I believe I saw 1801 was more than 30 years ago.
Good luck!

Hi there,
I just purchased an RCA Microtutor minus the rather important CPU card.? I
can recreate the card but I expect locating the 1801 chips will be
difficult.? I am just posting this in various forums in case anyone has any
leads on where I might find either the complete card or the required chips
to make a replacement.? I'm wondering what, if any devices were built with
the 1801 that I might be able to scrounge from.
Thanks again,
