Skip Montanaro <skip@pobox.com>: > Really? I was always under the impression the 4004 was considered the first > microprocessor. The page below says that and gives a date of 1971 for it. First sentence is widely believed, but there was an earlier micro called the Star-8 designed at Burroughs that has been almost completely forgotten. I only know about it because I worked there in 1980 with one of the people who designed it. I think I had a brain fart and it's the Z80 that was descended from the 6502. I was going by a remark in some old lecture notes. I've got a copy of the definitive reference on history of computer architecture and will check. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S.
