Hello!
For advice on how to construct your gadget, please examine this site Homebrew CPU Home from there he lists references. I suggested one of them, an excellent article in Byte magazine regarding one chap's efforts to build one.
I have seen that, and a lot of other designs. Lots of awesome designs around.
However I have plenty of computer and design experience to design my own, which is what I am doing. Just have a few ideas to make it modular, so that I can replace each module with an alternate implementation. So I could have, for example, the monitoring (front panel) done with a prop and LCD, the PC from transistors, the decoder with an eeprom(s), the ALU and ACC with an FPGA, and memory with 74xxx latches and an SRAM.

Question is, does one really need a NOP instruction?
Enjoy!
Mike

I am just interested to build it differently
