That's some of the worst publishing I've ever seen, typos and errors all
over the place. If I'm remembering right they were in one of those "book
club" kind of deals in one of the magazines back when, and they never did
get my first order right, so I never went anywhere with it...

IIRC, it was
in the .01-centennial issue of Dr. Dobb's. I have a copy of
it somewhere, but there's no way I could find it without a lot of
effort.
The book "How to Design, Build & Program Your Own _Advanced_ Working
Computer System" (1981/TAB Books) has an entire chapter devoted to this,
mentioning a couple of chips.
Note the underlining (part of the title) of "Advanced" to distinguish it
from the earlier book, which was about designing, building & programming
not-so-advanced working computer systems.
