The basic 16bit %design was PDP-8 with four more address bits. There is or was a prentice hall book on logic design that described the design of a PDP-8 workalike. I bought the book and told myself that one day, I'll build a PDP-8 with EPLDs. Like Allison, I ended up with 16 bits and then other things got in the way... The book is called top-down logic design or something like that. Ben
