Awsome project, take a look. I intend to build one too...
I looked at a couple of documents, fully expecting to see ROM-on-a-
rope and noticed that the implementation was (mostly) SSI/MSI TTL.
You could probably simplify things in terms of construction
tremendously by using FPGA or CPLD methods. The result should be no
more or less accurate to the original than the TTL version.
