Hmm We have cows and grass and oil pumps outside. This must be the 
middle of the Alberta. Cold Lake if you really want to know.

I have just finished a 20 BIT CPU design with a DE1 (ORIGINAL) FPGA 
development card, and looking at the 1974 - 1976 time frame for
a physical computer hardware design. The bare metal part is done, so now 
have test and clean up the logic details and I/O devices. Late this
year I plan to have software and hardware pre-tested on the FPGA
card before I start laying out the mother board and PCBs.

This will be a modern version but basically a 1975 ish logic design.
Small Proms, 74LSxxx and 2901A's and MK4096 4Kx1 Dram speeds.
