C74 - Trivial Computation Engine (8bit Computer)

The C74 is a concept for a really simple real 8 bit computer. Real 8 bits because both busses (data and address) are 8 bit. I had the idea for this project while developing an emulator for this imaginary machine.

Project Roadmap

  • Creating the logic
  • Building and testing the components (memory, alu, etc.) in Hardware one by one
  • Building the whole system

Another sideproject could be developing an Assembler and maybe a programming language
