The SDK-86 (System Design Kit) was the first available computer using the Intel 8086 microprocessor. It was sold as a single board kit at a cheaper price than a single 8086 chip! because Intel thought that the success of a microprocessor depends on its evaluation by as many users as possible. All major components were socketed and the kit could be assembled by anyone having a limited technical knowledge thanks to a clear and complete assembly manual. The system could be used with the on-board keyboard and display or connected to a serial video terminal.

The internal ROM monitor offered the following commands:
|
||
|
||
**S** (*Substitute Memory*): Displays / Modifies memory locations\
|
||
**X** (*Examine / Modify registers*) : Displays / Modifies 8086 registers\
|
||
**D** (*Display memory*): Displays memory content\
|
||
**M** (*Move*): Moves block of memory data\
|
||
**I** (*Port Input*): Receives data from input port\
|
||
**O** (*Port Output*): Send data to input port\
|
||
**G** (*Go*): Execute user program\
|
||
**N** (*Single Step*): Execute single program instruction\
|
||
**R** (*Read File*): Read object file from tape to memory\
|
||
**W** (*Write File*): Writes block of memory to tape.
