Intel MCS-8 (SIM8-01)

The MCS-8 (SIM8-01) is a complete byte-oriented computing system featuring Intel 8008 CPU, 1KB of RAM and 2KB of ROM memory. The system was introduced in 1972 and was designed to test and program the 1702 electrically programmable and erasable ROMs. The SIM8-01 board is equipped with 8 PROM cockets wich could be used to load a bootstrap loader to load and execute programs in RAM, MCS-8 Fortran Assembler and Simulator, or SIM8 hardware assembler.

The system was accompanied by MP7-03 ROM programming board and MCB8-10 system interface and control module, which also contained 50 Volt power supply for PROM programming.
