Thanks for sharing this. I wish I had been born a few decades earlier when computers were this simple.

Well I'm glad I didn't have to grow up with computers that complicated :)

I built the EDUC-8 in Australia in the 1970s. It was designed by one of the journos working for Electronics Australia after he did a course on the DEC PDP8 and was published in that magazine. It used the 74141 CPU (IIRC) and used gates as gates, counters as counters, encoders as encoders and so on. I finally found out why they were called that.

I built an LNW-80 from bare unpopulated PC boards, but that used a Z-80, not microprocessing from chips. I did do some wire wrapping for a homemade EPROM programmer, and an interface for a converted IBM Selectric terminal for a printer. But that was minor compared to what the guy above did!

I really like his other projects page too! He's just cool digital retro in my book!
