Ben.
Steve Ciarcia's bomebrew computers (he did
several -- I remember an 8088
system in 5 chips, a sort-of PC compatible, a Z8 board without even
thinking about it) were based on microprocessors. But I do remember a
Byte article on making a homebrew CPU (from TTL). I think it was called
'EGO', and hung off a Tandy 2000.
I remember that. I still have the Byte magazines the EGO appeared in.
Neat CPU, made for floating point operations if I recall.
