One thing to note -- the control to download wasn't live until the entire document appeared to have streamed to completion. When you load the page do you see a progress bar showing the streaming of the document? Back in 1985, just after graduating college, I bought this book and I started drawing up my own plans for making my own Z80 computer. The book didn't really have any information that I didn't already know, but it still served as a catalyst to do something instead of just thinking about it. A few days into my design, I noticed that a 68000 cost about $15, which admittedly was 10x the cost of a Z80, but the difference was mice nuts in absolute terms. So I built a 68K machine instead. Although I never did anything with the computer once I had developed the monitor, it was probably responsible for me getting my next job.
