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.
