Thanks for that; I've seen quite a lot of homebrew machines over the years,
but they always seem to be lacking the back-story of quite why their inventors
built them, or of how they got them working, so that was a good read!
(I've always been curious as to how many homebrew machines 'just work' on
their first try - in the sense that at at least the CPU, enough memory, and
enough I/O comes to life in order to debug things further.)
