Very cool.
At university I built a 4 bit stack based CPU out of TTL. It had store, load opcodes and could address 8K words of RAM so it had some actual utility. It was one of the most interesting things I’ve ever done. Annoyed they wouldn’t let me take it at the end of the course!

Agreed. I see this simple problem on a vast number of websites and I wish there was a way to just easily fix it for people. I'm willing to put in 5 seconds of my time to make the web better here and there.

I keep building breadboard computers and single-board computers, learning the ISA and peripherals, and then not really using them for anything. I guess the building is the fun part, for me.

One of the projects I keep putting off is creating a simple RISC based CPU on an FPGA and writing an assembler & compiler for it. It would probably serve no real purpose other than education for myself which is why I put it off...

Maybe someday I'll use those 6510's and 68000's to build something.
