It is a relay based rebuild of a Konrad Zuse computer. I love the sound of the machine when it is calculating. And the best of all, you were allowed to operate it!</description></item><item><title/><link>https://vmac.ch/posts/2021-06-10-itsalive-0/</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jun 2021 11:32:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://vmac.ch/posts/2021-06-10-itsalive-0/</guid><description>It&rsquo;s alive – not yet a valid program, it is just executing NOPs right now.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://vmac.ch/posts/2021-06-09-i-made-good-progress-on-1623260378/</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:39:38 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://vmac.ch/posts/2021-06-09-i-made-good-progress-on-1623260378/</guid><description>I made good progress on my CPU design in the last two days. It&rsquo;s starting to come alive.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://vmac.ch/posts/2021-01-19-the-first-simulated-program-running-1611089012/</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jan 2021 21:43:31 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://vmac.ch/posts/2021-01-19-the-first-simulated-program-running-1611089012/</guid><description>The first simulated “program” running on my own instruction set. It takes more time than expected but from here it’s mostly repetition to finish it.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://vmac.ch/posts/2021-01-09-designing-a-cpu-you-can-1610219238/</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jan 2021 20:07:17 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://vmac.ch/posts/2021-01-09-designing-a-cpu-you-can-1610219238/</guid><description>Designing a CPU you can actually still build with discrete elements and has a useful set of capabilities is quite complex project. And a significant trade-off between features and complexity. Just adding one register more makes it much more complicated than I expected.</description></item></channel></rss>
