[N8VEM: 19236] 8008 SBC with modern components

[Kip Koon]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone ever built an 8008 SBC using modern components like CPLDs and/or
FPGAs in place of the ancient hard to get parts used in the first 8008 based
microcomputer? I'm looking at trying to do it on a small PCB, but obviously
not sure of the exact size yet. Any ideas, thoughts anyone?

I've written s software emulator and there is also an FPGA core on
opencores. I've not seen a board design using modern components..

The 8008 bus is heavily multiplexed so it would be a fun project. Many
designs also added extra I/O port l:ogic for things like a data stack which
the cpu itself lacked.
