I had a Cosmic Elf computer with an 1802. Wasn’t the 4004 designed as a buffer?

I still remember when I first went to college and we were lucky to get time on a PDP1170.

I was thinking of the little Intel primitive 4-bit micro, a forerunner of the 8008.

What OS? Ours ran a variant of Unix PWB/6.5 called IS/1. Special Perkin-Elmer terminals with custom firmware and keycaps for efficient editing.
