Thanks for the memory

Nice memories, and i can only imagine how your work paved the way for nowaday flas drives

cool posting BUD

Awesome build… I spent many a days programming EPROMS for some Z80 base controller boards at a place I worked at in the 80’s.

Very impressive , cool .

Bravo

A very cool tribute – you should be proud.

Very cool piece and a great recent history lesson. Sometimes I forget how much the world has changed in my life time.

It’s really nice and I bet they really cherish them.

How creative!

I dealt with my fair share of EEPROMs (2708, 2716, 2732) filled with 8031 and 8051 code.

A very cool memento for someone to take with them. Radio Shack used to actually sell these when I worked there in the 80’s

I remember EPROMs (sigh). It’s a really wonderful gift.

Makes for a great gift Oldnovice, very good work.

I love this as a geek growing up in the 80s I really liked this.

Thanks to the geeks and non geeks,

The company I worked for was on the leading edge, and sometimes the bleeding edge, of the microprocessor revolution. I wrote a P.O. for three 8080’s, that were only available in CERDIP package, for $395.00 each. At that time it was the most expensive single item my company had ever purchased.

From that we built our own proprietary microprocessor system with RAM boards, EPROM boards, a number of digital I/O, analog I/O, and special function boards all into a custom card rack. We did this because there was nothing available on the market that met our requirements for building self standing equipment.

For development system we had an Intel 8080 MDS unit, serial number #8!

I really enjoyed those days!
