The stuff on instructions, timing states, interrupts, etc. is about 12 pages.
The 8008 instructions (48) are simple enough that someone just learning how
to write a computer program (Me back then) could understand all of them.

Interesting, back then, 1973, Intel sold a simulator as a Fortran IV program, or
it could be run on a time-share service. Also a cross assembler. The
resident assembler took 2k - 8 1702 EPROMS for their SIM8 microcomputer board.
