No, I do not mean by going out and buying a P4, a motherboard, and a video card. I want to completely build a functioning computer from scratch, as a learning experience in both computer and electrical engineering, so that when I start applying for colleges next year, I can say that I built my own computer (without lying
After looking at an online project called the Magic 1, I believe I want to build the processor from scratch as well out of transistor-transistor logic circuits. I'd want it to be able to hook up to a terminal, possibly to something similar to the TV typewriter, and eventually, be able to program it. I know, its a big project, but I believe this is something I could really learn from. Does anyone have any suggestions, book recommendations, etc?
