I never played around with the 8080 before, and wasn't sure where to start, so I googled some quick resources. Wondering if anyone knows of better resources? *

As background, the oral history panel on the 8080 is hard to beat [1]. It was designed by broadly the same team (led by Federico Faggin) that did the first commercial microprocessor, the 4004, and then the Z80, which somewhat overshadowed the 8080 commercially.

There are a few more old manuals here: http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/components/intel/MCS80/ http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/components/intel/MCS80/ The interesting thing about the older documentation is that it seems to be written assuming far less existing knowledge of the reader, which I find makes them much more accessible to beginners.
