CDP1801

[Brad H]

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 at:

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,
