DigiBarn TV: Bill Pentz (inside barn) & the story of the Intel 8008 @ SacState
Channel: Dr. Bruce Damer
Date: 2011-04-26

Bill Pentz (inside the DigiBarn computer museum) is interviewed by Al Lundell about the surviving artifacts from the Intel 8008 microcomputer built at Cal State Sacramento in 1972-73. This is the earliest complete microcomputer system known, with interfaces to a color monitor, hard disk, cassette tape, paper tape, and a modem link to a mainframe. The system had a proto-DOS (Disk Operating System) based on the Basic Assembler Language (BAL) from IBM all loaded into PROMs. This was a feat not achieved again by microcomputers until 1978.
