This is amazing! I had a question about this passage however: >" MyNOR is a single board computer that does not have a CPU. Instead, the CPU consists of discrete logic gates from the 74HC series ..." Isn't that still a CPU just not a integrated chip or microprocessor? Isn't a board with discrete logic gates basically how mainframes and minicomputers such as PDP-11 etc were built before the advent of the "microprocessor"?
