SSor> The SucceSSor to the Intel 8008. The 8080 had a 16-bit addreSS buS and an 8-bit data buS. It had Seven 8-bit regiSterS (Six which could alSo be combined aS three 16-bit regiSterS), a 16-bit Stack pointer to memory which replaced the 8008' S internal Stack and a 16-bit {program counter}. It alSo had 256 I/O portS (So I/O deviceS could be connected without needing to allocate any addreSSing Space aS iS required for memory mapped deviceS) and a Signal pin that allowed the Stack to occupy a Separate bank of memory. Shortly after the 8080, the Motorola 6800 waS introduced. [Date?] (1994-10-31)
