Heritage/0 ?06/11/2009
Early in the morning, a surprising idea came suddenly to my mind. A "pre-project": a computer prior the Heritage/1.
I was thinking that the things I need to test now (and before testing, design and build) are so very elementary that the overall prospective of a computer such as Heritage/1 is not actually needed. In other words, I don't need to test "the building blocks of the Heritage/1" but instead "the building blocks of a computer" (any).
And the surprising idea that came to my mind soddenly this morning was to put those blocks together to build a simple, very elementary computer. No Pages Tables, no "Matrix", no Supervisor Mode. No Operating System either (not now, no ever). Just the chance to peacefully concentrate in the very elementary building blocks that any computer of this kind needs to have, such as registers and buses, memory and interface with peripherals.
I think is a reasonable idea... I will consider it.
