I like things reliable. Soldered is more reliable than

If you *must* use sockets, use high quality machined-pin sockets.
I got them ... well on order. With sockets if I zap a chip I can
replace it.
Why do you need your RAM to drive LEDs? Anyhow, 74LVC
should drive
LEDs just fine.
I never thought of that ... I plan to have the tradional front panel on
all my computers
I build.
Straight
8's look better and better all the time. :)
I'd love to get one. Closest I have is an 8/I.
Well anyhow I do plan to use a lot CMOS but not for I/O that is
connected to
people. I just don't want to solder in chips. But then a PDP 8/ non
volitile memory
is my next project in a few years.
