This was a very interesting read. I have read a bit about the 4004 before so I knew it was strange. But the level of obscurity is mind-blowing. Now I just got the urge to see how well I would be able to make a CPU with the same transistor count. It's not that much fewer than a 6502. 8 bit would make it so much easier to program.
Thanks for documenting your work so well!
