[Kyle] has been hard at working building an 8-bit computer from the ground up.He’s using a set of logic IC’s for the various components, and some NVRAM chips to store the control words.

Pity the poor TTL computer aficionado. It’s an obsession, really — using discrete logic chips to scratch-build a computer that would probably compare unfavorably to an 80s era 8-bit mac… ...

Kyle Hovey has decided to build his own 8-bit CPU from scratch, out of breadboard, NVRAM chips, surface-mount transistors, and lots and lots of wire -- and he's blogged his experience, so you can ...

It has a brand new 8-bit 65C02S CPU at 8 MHz (yes, WDC still produces them), 512 KB banked RAM, 512 KB ROM, Yamaha YM2151 sound chips and a custom module named VERA for video and additional sound ...

In a nutshell: Atari's 8-bit computers first launched in 1979, selling for between $549 and $999 and taking up the space of a full desktop machine. Now, more than four decades later, a Polish ...

Computer chips are made up of millions or billions of logic gates. These tiny components carry out the most basic of operations, such as checking if one bit of data matches another.
