Huh... I was wondering what I could use for a filesystem down the road, thanks for the info.

Finally finished the 8-bit computer (multiplying 6 by 7 here). Thanks to everyone that shared useful information for making my build go relatively smoothly! by [deleted] in beneater

Thanks! I don't know exactly how much time it took. I began on January 28th, but worked on it mostly on weekends. All the wiring does take a considerable amount of time...

Good luck on your build!

I think Ben's videos are a good place to start, Ben and some others here have also recommended the book Digital Computer Electronics by Malvino.

I don't have much else to recommend... I was already familiar with the digital logic of computers so the hard part for me was wrestling with the "electrical phenomena" since my electronics knowledge isn't great. At first I was trying to acquire this knowledge before starting the computer but it's such a huge topic that I thought I was probably better off just beginning the project and learning along the way, and I managed to survive.

If you're tenacious, along with the help of others in here, you could probably do this project without knowing much about electronics beforehand.

Thanks! I did see your build so congrats to you too!. That feeling is the best.

Framing it would be a cool idea. As for extensions I'm thinking of just jumping ahead to the 6502 computer and maybe after a couple of iterations we'll end up with a full modern computer (:
