To smooth things up you could use an emulator (like MAME) to run an 8008 system if you can get the software you want to use into a format for the specific machine you want to emulate. A quick look reveals that only (?) the Genius Leader 8008 from Germany is available in MAME. There might be other emulators for the 8008 around though supporting other machines. -- Andreas My random toughts and comments https://news-commentaries.blogspot.com/
