The rarest 4004s are the grey trace with a black dot, instead of the gold dot for pin one. I have two grey trace but with gold dot. I believe these are older than the grey trace with black dot. Although, as originally sold, the 4004 was a Harvard architecture, it could be made to be, easily, ma

Last week, Ken Gielow passed away. He was the author of the Z80DIS disassembler, which was both interactive and used a form of "artificial intelligence" to cleverly disassemble Z80 code.

The Intel 4004 was Harvard Architecture, as were the four bit microprocessors that came later. (TI's TMS-1000, National Semi's COPS, Rockwell's PPS4) Fine for a fixed program calculator or microcontroller, but the von Neumann 8 bit microprocessor IC's opened up vastly more advances in low cost

Hi, Did you think of running MINC basic? That would almost certainly work, even if you don't have any other MINC cards in your machine. Most elegant of course if you'd run the complete floppy image (to be found on Bitsavers), but I'd bet it will also just work if you extract the q4szmx.sav fro
