Fair enough. I think the original Datapoint design for what became the 8008 was even entirely serial, including the memory. I guess I should have said it would have been exceptionally more annoying. It's hard enough to get a computer out of it. So it'd be impossible in the sense that they wouldn't have met the goal of getting that relatively easy kit out of it and there wouldn't have been any PC.
