This is a full 16bit CPU and a minicomputer system built around it. The CPU has virtual memory, user and supervisor modes, 8 prioritized interrupts and DMA. The minicomputer has a real timer clock, parallel and serial ports, a floppy drive controller, and is connected to the internet. It has a unix like operating system and C compiler, both written from scratch.


I'm not in a place where I can watch video right now. Is this about the project your posted about 10 mos. ago?

I missed that when it was posted. It looks like the website is down. Is it hosted somewhere else now?
