Over time I have managed to collect a full set of Intel processors of the 80xx series.
The real jewels in this collection are the 4004 and the 8008, which were the first
microprocessors. My intent has been to place the processors in a "shadow
box" where I could display them. One day I intend to put them in a shadow box.
Click on the thumbnails below to see a larger version of the image. Notably
missing in the current pictures are a 8088 and 80286. These processors are currently
hiding from me in a box somewhere. The card in the "family" portrait is a
Intel Wildcard 88 - which was an 80C88 processor on a 32 pin SIMM. All functions
were available (keyboard, I/O), you just needed to add a BIOS.
