Add a classic microprocessor to your Arduino Mega

It is an honor to release RetroShield for the world's first microprocessor. Get a working w/ Busicom 141-PF Calculator. 4004 executes the actual ROM images as is. Arduino emulates ROM, RAM, spinning…

Awesome board

This is an amazing board allowing you to run and program the first ever microprocesssor. I've always wanted to build a board for the 4004 but it's difficult and not something you want to mess up. Using an arduino to emmulate hardware is a very cool idea. My board arrived promptly and worked out of the box once I'd got an arduino mega and 4004. Thanks again Erturk for an amazing board and opening up computing history to everyone.
