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.
