    • @absurdengineering
      @absurdengineering 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I’m putting together a 1024 bit (128 byte) relay RAM… 2048 relays, not counting the external row decoders etc - those 2,000 are just the bistable (latching) bit storage registers and their bus couplers. Since it’s a diode-less design, the 2 relays per bit is the bare minimum, since each bit has two lines (a read line and a separate write line). And I still need a 512 byte ROM, so that will be another 2000 selector relays plus dip switches. It gets tedious sometimes but is also satisfying.

    love this project and your updates - konrad zuse with the Z1 was the original digital relay computer guy. love your didactic sense of construction - with the mini LEDs giving an indication to whats going on in the system. it is meditative to watch you building this system from the relay gates on up, and the sound it makes whilst computing is really coo. i wrote a chess programme for macOS (called pChess) which emitted sounds while it was recursively searching the highest static evaluation, and it was a way of hearing the computation - in much the same way that the relays naturally provide. thx for this. 🙏

    In the test starting at 14:10 I can hear the data cascade "ripple" as you say thru the adder, then the 200 msec delay you put in before the next enable signal. What would happen if you tried to use the elements of your CPU asynchronously, using its own output as an enable signal for each step? Would the variable time for each addition operation, because of the changing number of carriages, screw things up? Or is there some data bit you could effectively use as a "wait" signal, a "NOT enable", to queue up the operations properly?
