The first step into reality06/06/2009
From paper to the breadboard. Today the Heritage/1 putted the first leg on a tangible World. Like an embryo starting to take shape into the mother's belly, something like that. I'm very exiting.
Yes, I did the first breadboard test today. For details, follow this link:

The test was really trivial but it gave me the necessary confidence. I have worked with logic circuits before; I have worked with microprocessors (8085, Z80) and Microcontrollers (PIC) as well. But building a computer without a microprocessor is totally new for me.
So today the project entered a new momentum in which I'll be designing and testing the building blocks of the Heritage/1: Registers, Multiplexers... From now on, everything is real.
