To demonstrate the functionality of an 8-bit computer processor at a very basic level, [Mazen Gomaa] assembled a Homemade 8-Bit Educational Computer using common CMOS logic chips, a handful of ...

Here’s the most amazing 8-bit DIY computer implemented using a bunch of simple logic chips — along with a cornucopia of flashing LEDs — mounted on a cluster of breadboards. I stand in awe. As I’ve ...

Raspberry Pi’s Model B computers and other similarly-sized devices are often described as being the size of the credit card. But thanks to the USB and Ethernet ports, it’s a lot thicker than a credit ...

Hi everyone! Have you heard of the brand new 8-bit computer built from (mostly) off-the-shelf parts called Commander X16 made by a team of people under The 8-Bit Guy (David Murray)? If so what are ...

The YouTuber Shadowman39 used the children’s plastic construction set K’NEX as the basis for a full-fledged 8-bit computer. The mechanical model created by the YouTuber is capable of performing ...

Not content with your new, 1.4-billion-transistor Ivy Bridge processor? Maybe it runs too hot, or lacks the polygon-pushing powers that you require? Well, I've got just the thing for you: How about ...

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...
