Handmade CPU

[Him]

This is pretty tight. This dude made a CPU... By hand! Granted it is only 3MHz, but still, he built it by hand!

I can truly appreciate how difficult this must've been. Not the design.. But the actual "building" of the darn thing. I did some speed wiring for this school project.. And "that" was a b****..

A CPU I designed wasn't too bad. It was done with VHDL running on some FPGA.. No manual wiring!.. What this guy did takes the cake.. lol

I keep getting that too. Last time I posted something that was on the front page of Slashdot, people couldnt use the link for almost a day. It is just the sheer volume of people that are going to the site. Wait a little bit, and it will work.

I got in now, but I cant view any pictures.

Wow I wish I had the know how to do that.Even though my calculator has more processing power I have a great respect for people like him.Maybe he can o/c by 1mhz that would be a speed bump!!.
