Now I will make one caveat. A lot of the early DEC

completely synchronous design. So, if you are reading an old book and
it talks about async design, I'd skip that part. Certainly anything
from Mick & Brick on is fully synchronous.
What's wrong with pulse or async logic designs? I personally find them
fascinating, but I've never gotten to play with an implementation of
one... Are there problems with designing like this that made people switch
to sync designs? Anyone know of any good books on non-synchronous logic
design?
