I appreciate the 80's hardware ethic, as well as the 'art by constraint' philosophy. But I do see a place for devices where those constraints are just programmed into into a modernish FPGA - no silly scouring old warehouses for obsolete parts - way less routing, fraction of the size pcb etc, all the 80's angst. The words of a Philistine perhaps, but I do think we can get the constraint and creativity benefits without the hardware headache, and I'm saying this a EE.
- C256_Stef 8y agoI am glad you appreciate the discipline I am trying to put on the design. However, I do have to take into account these facts. This is 2018 and there just so much I can do to emulate this philosophy. So, I will do as much as I can without destroying the practical aspect of things. Also, the idea is to create it in a way, someone could actually build it (solder it) by hand... So I need to take that into account as well...
