Intel Vintage

I have been collecting Intel and other CPU chips and some vintage computers for over three years. Collecting old technology helps preserve the history of the Integrated Circuit and computers, which otherwise would be scrapped and destroyed.

I have many spare chips, so contact me if you want to trade or sell any of yours.

I have been using Intel microprocessors since the 8080 era. When the 8086 was released, I used an Intel MDS to write a multitasking operating system in PL/M-86 and ASM-86. Since then I have written a few million lines of Intel assembler code, being an assembler hold-out for a long time. I have a lifetime of experience as a contact software engineer and I still fiddle around with 8-bit microprocessors when I have time.

It is my opinion that Bill Gates was the worst thing that did or could have ever happened to the microprocessor industry, and I think he ruined what it might have been for all of us. A vital industry of independent software vendors, OS, and Application would have been more healthy than this glut of Microsoft code choking our powerful Intel machines.
