This is the first "Personal Computer" (not Altair, not Scelbi, not Micral) ? (derived from simplephpblog file blog\content\11\04\entry110409-153000.txt)

This development system was created from Intel in 1972, and its CPU is an Intel 8008.


I didn't found so much infos about it yet, but it seems to be the oldest computer with a 8 bit CPU in one desktop case.

There is a Youtube video about a working Intellec 8 system:

In german, but still interesting:

I know there was an OS named ISIS for the Intellec-8 mod 80 (which had an Intel 8080 inside).
If someone have more information about an OS for the 8008 version, please tell me or comment it - thanks.

The R2E Micral was mentioned in a blog entry already:
