To show how small this version of the NEC V40 is I have attached a picture (alongside an IBM-labeled 8088 CPU that is a regular-sized 40-pin DIP). This V40 will be thinner on the PCB than the 8088 is alone in height, and about 40% of the width. Just the fact of including a few of the 8-bit support chips needed for the 8088/V20 would make it worthwhile too......Getting back to the original thread, I had desoldered a small form-factor V40 from a FAX board, meaning that it should be in stock somewhere or able to be pilaged from a board. This would be an 8-bit CPU (unknown for the minimum/maximum setting) with a few support chips onboard to make it so the OP could do his project.
