RTL just looks horrifying to me. I had one of those Radio Shack 300 in One electronics kits, but most of the projects were analog and poorly explained. It wasn't until years later, when I saw the simple design of MOSFET logic gates, that my view of computers shifted from "sorcery" to "math".
Granted, with modern transistors getting progressively smaller, computers seem to be moving back to analog sorcery again.
- Stratoscope 6y agoYou had the 300-in-one kit?! I had one of the much older Radio Shack kits, and have many fond memories of those spring terminals. It looked a lot like this 160-in-one: https://medium.com/@rxseger/electronic-project-kits-hands-on-with-a-vintage-160-in-1-eea39e6193f4 https://medium.com/@rxseger/electronic-project-kits-hands-on... http://www.zpag.net/Electroniques/Kit/160_manual.pdf http://www.zpag.net/Electroniques/Kit/160_manual.pdf But that lists a date of 1982. I am sure mine was many years before that. Of course it could have been in production long before 1982 - the kit definitely doesn't have an "80s" look.
