SCELBI was an early model of microcomputer based on the Intel 8008 processor. The company SCELBI ( derived from SCIentific-ELectronics-BIology) Computer Consulting originated in 1973, founded by Nat Wadsworth.
The initial model 8H was discontinued at the end of 1974 and an improved model 8B was introduced. Fewer than 150 board sets and assembled systems were ever sold.[1] Later in 1975, the availability of systems based on the more flexible 8080 processor reduced demand for the slower 8008-based product. The company discovered that the demand for books on microcomputers was very high and published several books; the publishing business was sold in 1982.
