Since you mention it, I had been thinking about
designing and building a processor from scratch from
TTL devices. I am slowly accumulating TTL chips as I
come across them at hamfests and things. Perhaps it's
time to put pencil to paper.
Of course I could take the NASA Apollo Guidance
Computer approach and build everything welded-cordwood
style out of NOR gates.
