SDK-80 (MCS-80)

SDK-80 (MCS-80)

 Each time Intel launched a new microprocessor, they provided simultaneously a System Development Kit (SDK) allowing computer company engineers as well as university students to introduce them to the new processor concepts and features.

The 8080 System Design Kit (SDK-80) is a complete microcomputer system in kit form. It is simple to assemble (construction time is 6 hours) and provides an excellent training and prototype vehicle for evaluation of the 8080 microcomputer system.


The SDK-80 is an extremely flexible design and allows easy interface to an existing application or custom interface development. An extensive system monitor is included in a pre-programmed ROM for general software utilities and system diagnostics.
