You're burning PROMs but the rest of the computer isn't designed yet??
The ALU and Front panel have the schematics and the PCB's done on the
computer.The Memory and I/O card have yet to be finalized. I bought a
new computer and had to wait for a *REAL* keyboard I ordered on line
so I can *hunt and peck* on this thing.

be interested in hearing from anybody on their 2900 projects.
Slow! I got the Proms burned ( with a minor bug ), but the rest of the
hardware needs to be fleshed out on paper. I will get back to the
hardware after the new year when I have cash to order the IC's. The
pcbs late spring. I have no rush since I have to write some software
for the machine on the PC so I have a assembler running and maybe a
small compiled language so I can write a simple OS. This is 12/24 bit
CPU with 64Kb of address space that falls in the SMALL computer category. -Dave
