In the UK, the Amateur Computer Club newsletter published a design for a TTL
processor ... think it was called the WB-1. This was in the days before the
"classic" 77/68 but I think it had the same designer (Mike Lord?).

Does anyone have a remaining set of the newsletters that could be scanned
and made available?
