Intel's 8031 embedded
controller chip contains all
the essential ingredients of
a microcomputer - 1/0
ports, a UART, interrupt
lines, 16-bit timers and
counters, an 8-bit CPU,
and 128 bytes of
RAMstack. All that is
additionally required to
form a fully functional
computer is an operating
system, a means of getting
machine code to the CPU,
a few operating switches
and a visual display. Such
a computer is described
here.
