Projects Update - January 2019

Just a quick note about my projects, the CP/M computer and CPU projects have had initial objectives that I changed over time as I get brainwaves and mad ideas.  But that means they are always changing.

I want to get things into a state where someone can come along, replicate what I've done for their own projects.  Meanwhile I can indulge my brainwaves and ideas through additional projects.

So for the CP/M computer, I'm going to re-write all the instructions etc. so people can follow them and build their own.  I will also explain any changes to the standard RunCPM distribution by Marcelo Dantas I made, so people can do the same if they wish.  It will be finalised as a pure CP/M computer.

As for expanding it to use a fork of Tiny BASIC etc. that is VERY experimental, so that will be separated into another, but related, project.

My CPU project will be finalised as a 16-bit CPU in Logisim, so people can experiment with that.

Further objectives I had, like creating a VM/Emulator and hardware implementation will be separated into other related projects.

Thanks to everyone who has shown interest and support, and to those from whom I've learned so much.

8bit CPU Project Scrapped

My 8bit CPU project has been scrapped.

I learned a lot from the process but there are flaws that can't be fixed without a complete redesign and I've gone through seven major revisions already.  So I'm doing back to the drawing board and will have a rethink.
