Proper place to get help on homebuilt TTL computer design?

[SPowell42]

Hi all, I grew up in the age of the Commodore 64, and just saw Ben Eater's videos about building a computer out of TTL chips. I'm super interested in doing this, but hitting a few design issues I just can't wrap my brain around (almost all of it related to signal timing). Is there a place on these forums (or elsewhere) to get some guidance on this?

Thank you very much in advance - Happy New Year!

I am extremely late to this... but I have one on the shelf I plan on getting back to. I tried to build one myself an ran into, you guessed it, a timing issue. I started to tackle this a while ago but know MUCH more now. I started to document and work a bit more through it on https://embedded.greygiant.com. I haven't posted in a while as I kind of just started doing more and documenting less. As it happens.

I have all my schematics, notes and test codes here https://github.com/robertrico/hardware/tree/main/dino - It is up-to-date where I last left it. I plan on getting back to it after I finish my other ambitious projects.

I'd be more than open to chatting more about it! Hope you had a Happy New Year and Holidays.
