<So far this is the list of 8008 based computers that have been made aware
<of:
<
<1973 "Micral" by R2E (later merged with Bull) Made in France
<1973 "Intellec-8" by Intel (development system)

Intel also had the MCS-8, more of an SBC and not connector compatable
with MCS-8.

<1974 "Scelbi-8H" by Scelbi Consulting (kit and assembled)
<1974 "Mark-8" by Jon Titus in Radio Electronics 7/74. Plans and PC
boards
<only.
<1974 "008A Microcomputer Kit" RGS Electonics. Plans and all parts,

<? PopTronics (Popular Electronics?) <-- Does anyone know anything
about

Poptronics (Popular Electronics!) didn't do any 8008 designs. The first
micro in their pages was the altair (8080).

You also forgot the control-8 (may be wrong on the name) that DEC produced.
It was a small 8008 based 1 or two board set for controller apps.

Also there was Control Data Systems of Natick (MA) that produced the
L-Series modules which were 8008 ram, rom, IO, CPU for industrial control
use.

<! Datapoint 2200 (architecture was the model for the 8008, was built
< using LSI, not an 8008)

This sounds bogus. the 8008 model was the 4004 (stretched data paths).
The 8008 model was clearly unlike most minis of the time with the internal
(to the CPU) return address stack or limited depth.
