Item #465
The Intel MDS 800 system released in 1975 by Intel and was an early 8-bit computer system used mostly by OEM computer makers to design their 8080 CPU based computer systems. MDS stands for Microcomputer Development System.  It used dual 8" floppy disk drives, the system had 32k memory card slot that was upgradeable to 2 cards for a total of 64k memory max, and was powered by an Intel 8080 Microprocessor.

This paperweight was given out to Intel internal MDS sales team members in 1979 to motivate increased sales of the MDS-800 system to external customers.
White Marble paperweight features engraved metal showing the MDS-800 Computer Development system with monitor & Dual 8" Floppy Drive Module.

Item #471
This paperweight features the Intel 2700 series family of high-density EPROM memory chips embedded in Lucite. Descriptive text reads "Intel's EPROM Family" and shows the speed of each EPROM in nanoseconds.

The Intel 2700 series of EPROMs were ultraviolet erasable and electrically programmable read only memory, typically used in memory arrays for many early microcomputer systems.

The EPROM chips featured are:
  • Intel 2716 (16K bit 450ns NMOS EPROM) introduced 1977.
  • Intel 2732 (32K bit 450ns NMOS EPROM) introduced in 1979.
  • Intel 2732A (32K bit 250ns HMOS EPROM) introduced in 1980.
  • Intel 2764 (64K bit 250ns HMOS EPROM) introduced in 1981.

Measures 3/4 x 4 1/2 x 3 in.

Item #262
The Pentium Pro was a sixth-generation X-86 based Microprocessor developed and manufactured by Intel. The P6 Architecture was originally intended to replace the original Pentium Processor in a full range of applications. While the Pentium and Pentium MMX had 3.1 and 4.5 million transistors, the Pentium Pro contained 5.5 million transistors. Later, it was reduced to a more narrow role as a server and high-end desktop chip and was used in the Sandia Labs "ASCI Red" Supercomputer.

Lucite Paperweight contains a combination of both Core CPU and the Memory Chip for the .6 micron manufactured version of the Pentium Pro Microprocessor.

Measures 2 3/8" High x 3 3/8" Wide.
