Fresh DIY Retro Console

Every now and then an ambitious person with big plans crosses your digital path. That's what happened (again) this week with Tom Gambill

More or less by chance we came across Tom's project to design and build a retro console including CPU, GPU and graphics output by himself.

Inspired by Ben Eater, Tom has come pretty far so far. The journey starts with the first post about the basic requirements of such a machine. Currently there are 4 more parts available, and Tom is designing the instruction set in #5. 

Rather less a LS74 but more a FPGA story. But there is a lot to learn in this series. One can be curious about further parts.
