[sdiy] Art of electronics computer

[Tom Wiltshire]

Another +1 from me for learning about this stuff using current uCs.

Basic computing hasn't changed any, but you'll have up-to-date peripherals and interfaces, which will be a lot more use to you (and cheaper) than messing around with obsolete stuff that doesn't do half as much.

Regards,
Tom
