HP Nano Processor

[Jim Horn]

Wow, Paul, that will be terrific! The Nano Processor was used in all sorts of things, even including HP Logic Pulser probe - using a programmable device to create different pulse trains would be trivial today but unusual for such a slim device in the 1970s.

Larry Bower was the source of many amazing things in Santa Rosa's Instrument Division (later split into Network Analysis and Signal Analysis divisions; now the headquarters of Keysight Technology, HP's electronic test and measurement spin-off). He designed, laid out and built his own high-end 6502 based computer for fun from scratch in parallel with the Apple ][, wrote code for same and generally kept us junior engineers in awe. I've long wanted to know about the Nano Processor and look forward to reading what he sent.

Many thanks again -
