Haflich) Organization: MIT, Cambridge, MA Lines: 9 Some information on the National Semiconductor INS8073 8-bit microprocessor with on-chip `Tiny Basic' can be found in Electronic Design, Nov 22 1980. The article has a strong hardware perspective, that is, it mentions next to nothing about the on-chip language, but gives sample circuit block diagrams. You might compare this unit with the Z8 design written up by Ciarcia in Byte Jul-Aug 1981, and probably still distributed by Micromint. The machines are somewhat similar, but there are interesting differences.
