Source of Inspiration?What ignited my desire for getting into this was the Harry Porter's Relay Computer project. That was in May 2009. I spent four days researching and sketching my own solution until I saw that, as fascinate as the project might be, there is no too much room for software in a relay computer.
I turned then to TTL and started to be very influenced by Bill Buzbee's Magic-1. This effort last for one months until I realized that what Bill Buzbee did is far beyond my experience and knowledge on the matter.
Nevertheless these two attempts had exposed me already to a lot of readings and a better understanding on how computers (in general) really work. It also allowed me to approach the matter from the cultural angle which is important.
It was then when I turned to John Doran's D16/M which I recognize as the definite influence for the Heritage/1 project.
