I take my 8008 H8 CPU board and I refactor it into a standalone single-board computer. The 8008 CPU is widely considered to be the world's first 8-bit commercial programmable microprocessor. My single-board computer features the 8008 CPU together with up to 128KB of RAM and 128KB of ROM via bankswitching, and a 8251 UART for serial I/O. It runs Basic, Forth, and has a build-in monitor and can play games. The display board is an optional add-on that features ten 7-segment displays together with a real time clock and a 76489 complex sound generator IC.
