Replica 4004 calculator with the first Intel microprocessor

Long before the bowels of the new MacBook were turned into the light of day, and for the first time the person bought onto the label “Intel Inside”, stuck to the system unit of the new personalka, he lived for himself - he didn't print the Busicom 141-PF calculator.

Having become an icon of technology during his lifetime (the first device in the world that really has Intel Inside), in the week of his 38th birthday, he certainly could not help but attract the attention of old school geeks. Bill Kotaska (Bill Kotaska) turned out to be one of them - he literally sculpted a working copy of a computer with an Intel 4004 processor almost inside.

In addition to its apparent simplicity, Kotaski's handiwork has such strange modules as paper and bearded Shinshu Seiki Model-102 drum printer. The firmware is also veteran and was extracted from the original Busicom ROM. Those who are dozens of Shakespeare, I advise you to poke a link and enjoy the beautiful syllable about the gadget of a bygone era.
