I recently acquired an 8008 based computer from the relative of someone who used to work at Litton Data Systems. According to the documentation, this computer was started in 1973 and has engineering changes up until 1976. The documentation is extensive but it centers around each individual board. I'd love to know if anyone here worked at Litton during this time frame to learn more about it.
It looks like this and appears to be an 8008 based military prototype:
Here's a link to a blog post with more photos and information: http://vintagecomputer.ca/the-bill-1-8008-based-computer/
Any information you may have is greatly appreciated. It also uses a rare Intel C8201 chip (on the CPU board) that appears to be a support chip for the 8008 that supposedly provides clock/interrupt control but I have not found a datasheet for it yet. I'd love to learn more about that if anyone knows of it.
