Hi, Dwight.

Could you give us more info about the SIM4 board? I've always been
somewhat confused by Intel's naming conventions, and since this is a very
historically significant computer, I want to understand what's what.

Here's what I *think* I understand:

Intel made the 4004 CPU in 1971 as part of a complete computer chip set
called the MCS-4 (MCS = Micro Computer Set). They also created a few
computer systems around the MCS-4, including
        * the Intellec-4, a full fledged system with front-panel
        * the SIM-4, a single-board computer for evaluation

Did they make any others? I think there were variations of the SIM-4,
right? Dates?

Thanks,
Doug
