I am making all the schematics and taking pics of all the hardware. I am also videoing all the progress.
Next thing I will be doing is simulating all the schematics before I build the more complex parts.

Just trying to get my blog out there
{EAV:a0afc2bea14f8c11}
So I want to draw as many people to my blog as I can. Why you may ask? I want to be able to get comments that will help me better understand the people who would want to buy a DIY computer and help educate people the easy and fun way

The memory map
Activity 34
Creating the memory map was a little
confusing because the output switching but after a little trial and
error and studying the memory map in the book and arranging the chips
in the order of the book I got them all to work. Now I need to figure
out how to make my own keyboard and video on my own and implement
them. I do have a book on creating my own video game console so I am
going to combined that with what I have and it should lead me in the
right direction.

Update on the 4bit ripple comparator
After looking at more info on the comparator I decided to create a 1bit comparator in Logisim. (http://ozark.hendrix.edu/~burch/logisim/)
It came out great because then I found the equation for the comparator and used it to make the 1bit into a 4bit ripple comparator. Here is how it is.

The inputs are always true or on tell it is attached to another one. I am not 100% that this is the best way to do it. Let me know if there is a batter way
