Currently getting parts together for a build. There are four extra slots. I'm going to use them for a serial board and extra RAM. Is there any PCB for ROM or is that going to be a DIY?
Also are there any Operating Systems that will work with the 8008?
Got one 8263 on FleaBay still looking for the rest of the multiplexers.
Hey,
I think a ROM board is an interesting idea. It would then be possible to create a simple "Monitor ROM" to provide a basic interface at boot time.
Could also provide some basic OS functions such as character input/output routines that work with Artems serial IO board.
Cheers,
Gavin.
Regarding ROM, Len from 8008chron.com created a ROM board for the Mark-8. You could try contacting him about the schematics/gerber if you're interested.
I have not seen a PCB for ROM but I know that there is demand for it. I might consider building one. Let me know if you need any specific parts for the Mark-8 - I might have some extra ones laying around.
