MMD-2

 Both MMD-1 and MMD-2 mini-micro designer boards were the development systems for Intel 8080A CPU built by E&L Instruments Inc. in 1977.

This how E & L introduced their product: "E & L Instruments has introduced the first educational and engineering microcomputer that is simple and versatile enough to be used as a basic training system and yet, has all of the features required for circuit design, interfacing experimentation and software development for the professional designer.

The Mini-Micro Designer is a low cost, expandable system totally supported by the unique Bugbook educational materials. Well adapted for use as classroom texts, or for self-instruction, the Bugbook concept is the ideal introduction to computers for beginners as well as those with considerable technical background and experience."
