I guess one tube would make a bit slice logic block.
While I have been thinking of that and the 3840 sockets have been kind of
holding me back! I have been thinking of 3 gate types. 3-input open collector
nands, 1 input nand ( inverter ) and 2 input nand open collector buffers.

There are some pages on the mentioned site giving the specs for the/an IC type
the AGC was based on. It's not really said directly, but it kind of implies
that there was only one type of IC used in the AGC: an RTL dual 3-input NOR in
a 10-pin flat-pak.
Let's see... invert the logic to make use of NANDs, an earlier poster
mentioned 40 tubes of 24 5400's, that's 40*24*4=3840 2-in NANDs... I always
kind of liked the idea of making an entire processor out of just one basic
gate/IC type. But, given that the original uses RTL and core,
what's the point of
building one in LSTTL?
Is it even possible to build with RTL parts anymore?
