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: http://www.homebrewcpu.com/links.htm http://www.holmea.demon.co.uk/Links.htm Jon
