When I was talking about scratch, I was talking about a linux box -
console driven.
I guess nobody even considers building a computer
from scratch. :(
Actually, there are some poor demented souls who do--and not from FPGAs..
Wasn't there an article a looong time ago about a
fellow who built his own
CPU from TTL parts in BYTE or Microcomputing? (It'd have to be over 20
years ago).
I think there was two in byte. A four bit one and a later 32? bit one.
Sigh I miss Killobyte for hardware.

Also a TTL computer will be at the Vintage Computer Festival this year.
Anybody know how the valve computer a few years back is progressing?
