[sdiy] Art of electronics computer

[Richard Wentk]

You'd learn a lot more about logic, computers and memory by building your own replacement displays, weird chips, etc.

I expect there's an emulation of the 68008 as an FPGA (etc) out there somewhere.

But really now I think you'd be better off buying an Arduino board, adding a prototyping shield, and experimenting with that.

There's way more information available online now than you can find in a single book.
