Subject: straight-8 miniaturised
Who was the one with the wacky idea of building a Straight-Eight PDP8
using flipchip cards populated with surface-mount parts? I have a
hankering to run some numbers about it.
There's some guy in Germany who built a complete computer using
discrete components, mostly resistors and bipolar transistors
(no ICs), but all surface mount. It was quite small. I can't find the
link now, but there are a bunch of homebrew computer projects linked
to here:
