A lot happened in the computer industry in early Nov. in the past: Intel's
x86 PC architecture was born; lo & behold Windows ME was released upon the
world; for the corporate in us the IBM Portable Computer was introduced.
The PC world hasn't been the same since.
Happy computing,
Murray 🙂

Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

2024 Ben has a new 18 bit computer design, using ATF1508 128 cell
CPLD's. Of course I need the latest PeeCee to program them.

Of course when I get the low cost programmer the price of 1508's go
sky-high.
About all I have for software is just the bootstrap in EEprom
loaded in from the front panel. Just waiting for a newer memory
card PCB's with a write protect switch so I don't lose my data,
after I swap out my chips.
Ben.

The prototype of the Altair 8800 was completed in Oct 1974 and was
announced in Jan 1975.
