So I bread boarded some 8051's (I think
that's them, they were 8 bit
computers that you could flash).
Intel made 2 8-bit microcontroller families - MCS-48 (introduced 1976)
and MCS-51 (introduced 1980). Both had EEPROM variants (8748 and
8751). I used variants of both during the 1980's.
Both families are still around - in particular, the 8042 still present
in spirit in your IBM-compatible PC is a MCS-48 variant.
