Try to find somebody with a copy of the 1974
"elector" magazine (uk).
They had a series of articles about a "computer74" which was designed
in '74, and made of 74' series chips. Was a 16 bit thing.
Are you sure about that?
No ;-)
Actually, I read this in the german edition in 1974, and Tony knew this
series from elektor, so I assumed it was in the uk edition too ...
Elektor started in the 60ties in Holland.
The Elektor 74 is a strange beast : clockless, instructies are tied to
memory addresses . Could have hardware multiply and divide !
But it was also very inefficient in its usage of TTL.
No PCBs were published. I strongly suspect that no machine, other than
the prototype, was ever made. Also software was not covered.
I still need to put up my own 12 bit design.
