Well it's early days, but here is the beginning of my site documenting my CPU collection. So far I've only added 4004, 4040 and 8008 series, so lots of work to do (and still a 4040 to add when it arrives from the shack Wink )

A bit of eye candy....stay tuned for updates as I get the time Laughing

I bought it from "power-mosfet" in Germany (ebay). Was a bargain at US$1100, although at the time it seemed like a very big price (June 2009). And I just got the white 4040ES to go with it

Cool is that you are working on your own cpu website Smile I have added a link to your page. You need a lot of "persistence" at uploading all of your items from collection ! Good luck Smile
