Anon uncovers something big
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
I could probably build a computer from scratch, but it's not gonna be a modern one with impossibly small microchips and bajillions of transistors. It's gonna be a room-sized behemoth with only like 8bits of memory that takes 24 hours to compute 1+1.
Check out Ben Eater on YouTube.
He uses a microcontroller though for his breadboard PC. A microcontroller that is built in a fab.
I was going to add that disclaimer, but it's also a step closer and interesting nonetheless.
I'd also recommend Breaking Taps, while he does amazing stuff in a home lab it also has the disclaimer that he's able to get it already has some super interesting but rare stuff. Electron microscope etc.
I thought I saw someone making homemade, low power processors but for the life of me I can't remember who or where.
Sam Zeloof did it.
That's the 6502 one you're talking about though, what about the previous one (granted it still used a bunch of ICs, but not a microcontroller per se)
