reading the C4004 poll I wondered how many complete sets are out there.
I have a white set complete (ignoring slight differences like ground strap, dot, "5" or "unidentified symbol").
In grey a 4001 and a 4004 so there is much work to do...
Edit: Hm, and how can I fix the mistyped poll question?
In the meantime I have a white "unidentified symbol" set and a grey (excluding the C4002-2)...

This is the status of my MCS-4 sets:
White:
All five chips (The C4002-2 is a CS, I have an ordinary one with bad printing)
White/Grey:
C4001
C4002-1
C4004
White with a "5":
C4001
C4003
White with a black dot denoting pin 1:
C4003
In other words, still much work to do and a lot of money to spend... |

I need a few more to complete my white set. Say, since you're going to make all these polls, make one about C4040's! I'd like to know how many people have it.  _________________ http://www.RareCPUs.com

Does somebody have some support chips of the white MCS-4 set for trade ? Please PM  _________________ My microprocessor collection: The Gecko's CPU Library |

I have a couple of sets. I have one white set, one grey set and one white set with #5. Here is the link to the photos: http://www.theintelcollection.com/MCS-4.html The C4003 in the white set is the wrong photo and I am currently unable to change it due to the fact that I had the CPUShack set my website up and I haven't learned dreamweaver yet... I will get around to that soon enough
I have the only complete set of grey or #5 sets. the hardest chips to find are the C4002-2 and C4003.
I also have some MCS-4 chips for trade  |

I have two 4004 gray traces, two 4004 in white, and two 4003 in white ceramic, and a 4002 and 4009 in plastic.
What would the exact mcs4 set be? Some designs actually used 1404 SR ram rather than the MCS4 serial RAM.

Hmm ive only got a D4004, P4004. P4002-1, P4002-2, and a C4001 white ceramic. I have been picking them up slowly, not paying much so far for each chip, thats why its going to take me a while to have a full set of any MCS-4 chips, but im close on the p series  |

The original set consists of the 4001, 4002-1, 4002-2, 4003 and 4004.
Of course there are more chips starting with a 4 but they were not part of the CPU set such as it was invented for busicom.
They all exist in plastic (some variations like grey or black, white or yellow print, tin or gold pins, "embossed "I"), in white or grey ceramic (variations here are the signs denoting pin 1, ground straps, key variants and the number "5", that's printed on some ones. In D package there seems only the 4002-1, 4002-2 and the to 4004 exist. I've never seen a 4001 or 4003. |

I have white and gray 4004, a plastic 4002, and white ceramic 4003's.
The syetem that i got these from actually used 1702 EPROMs and digital logic to emulate the 4001 and get more memory.
I am guessing a "complete" MCS4 chipset includes the 4001, 4002, 4003, and 4004, correct?

I dont have any complete sets yet of ceramic, but i just finished with my first complete set of plastics
I am of course working on the ceramic ones too, Just not as easy to pick up a complete set of ceramics ones for $100 bucks or so like i have with my plastics chips. I did buy them all seperate but still only for above mentioned price. _________________ "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." A.E. |

I have a C4001, C4002-2, C4003 white, C4003 Gray.
The 4003s are on a PCB, which I'm loath to remove them from. Do they count?
I also just got A C1402A white & C1402A Gray.
DOES SOME GENEROUS SOUL have a C4004 to sell or trade?  |

Shouldn't a complete set include a 4008 & 4009...?

I dont know, youre one of the GURUs of this site, you tell me
If so i will retract my statement and go searching for those last two chips to make it an undisputable complete set  _________________ "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." A.E. |
