- adatta02 17y agoI guess we should find a cheap fab plant and start selling these to hobbyists?
- ladyada 17y agocant. they chose a "non commercial" license.
- omouse 17y agoFind a cheap plant, ask for donations and give them away for free?
- daeken 17y agoOn a related note, I wonder how difficult it'd be to take the netlists and turn this into something that can be thrown on an FPGA.
- tb 17y agoFPGAs (as the name implies) work at the gate level, not the transistor level.
- daeken 17y agoWould it not be possible to take these netlists and map them to gates? It seems like at least the majority should be possible to automate.
- sparky 17y agoIn some cases yes. In some cases (i.e. the mask-programmable ROM) you would have to deviate significantly from the original design to provide duplicate functionality on a transistor substrate you don't control.
- jrbedard 17y agoCan't wait for the 8088 schematics, now that was a groundbreaking CPU!

- leej 17y agoSorry but this does not matter except for nostalgic feelings.
- DrJokepu 17y agoI think it matters quite a lot in terms of educating undergraduate electrical engineers.
