Memory Test for the 8008 Posted on my 8008 Software Page

  • It keeps a running count of errors that is displayed every pass

    I suppose someone who needed a good 8080 memory test could port it to the 8008 or Z80 without too much trouble.

    1. Here’s what you do…

      Convert the Apple I design entirely over to Hardware description language.
      Then write a Intel x86 instruction set emulator for the 6502 iCPU circa 1970 in assembly language. Then when there’s the next great technological breakthrough for quatum or optical computer, you can port your design to 1,000,000 BaJigaHetz Clock Speed and make the Apple I look more powerful than the top of the line intel processor. :-). add in an monochrome-16 color to HDMI pixelator for backward compatibility with Apple prodos operating sytem….
