Harry Porters Relay Computer

In May 2009 I discovered the Harry Porter's Relay computer and got fascinated with the idea. The Harry Porter web site is this:

  • http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~harry/Relay/index.html

  • After four days of hard work I had drafted a promised architecture but then I realized that I were pushing my self into the wrong direction. Building a relay computer is cool, indeed, but I wanted to get into "real stuff".  Soon I realized that the "real stuff" comes when you connect your little project to the real World. I came to this conclusion while researching on "homebrew CPUs" projects.

    I finally decided to drop the relays computer project and tried to find out what I really wanted. In the mid time, I went to Amazon.com and ordered a book about Operating System's Theory.
