Nifty! I entered the ALU and part of the control board
entered into
gschem with the same intent. Perhaps we could collaborate on that later
on. I made some alterations to allow use of a bog-standard VME chassis.
Sure. I still don't quite understand everything about the user modes or
addressing. Its possible that it I understand it and just don't think it
could be that simple. : )
On one of the pages linked from the homebrewcpu.org
page is a project that
uses surface-mount transistors on what amount to tiny flipchips. If
you're insane enough to try a discrete 8080, go with that approach.
I saw that. If I were to do anything like that I would want it to be an
educational tool. And for people who want to build it for fun, art. The
thing needs to lay flat so it could hang on a wall.
Don't tell me you wouldn't want to hang CP/M on the wall... : )
At that rate, the complete machine might demand 20 amps
or more.
Sure. And with a 5MHz clock it would multiply at the speed of a 100MHz+
486. : )
At least I'd like to have LED displays for each
bus, each flag, and each
register.
In a little Altair 680 sized box!
