Congrats. Are they ceramic or ceramic/gold?
I think the 8008 is a pretty interesting CPU. Yeah, it
was slow, and the instructions weren't very powerful,
but I have to beleive that its the "dumbest" micro
anyone ever wrote a high level language for (SCELBAL,
which I've got running). I've built a few 8008
computers and am working on a "big" 8008 with a front
panel and SCELBAL in ROM. Don't know what you paid for
them but either the economy is getting better or the
8008 supply is getting low - perfect NOS 8008's could
be had for $20 last year and I saw a beat up one go
for 70+ recently on eBay. Out of my range!
