I received a number of private emails regarding the plans for the Simon
relay computer, and I have sent out a couple of CDs with the scans of the
article. Thanks to those of you who had suggestions for shringing down the
file size. The total size runs about 270Mb on the TIFF scans sent out on CD
(tranlates to about 8 MB per page.) I don't have software tools to try out
some of the compression schemes so I will leave them as is for now. At this
point, I am slowly looking for and acquiring the parts to build the thing.
It looks like it would be a real trip to build and operate a computer
capable of handling a 5 bit number :).
