Impressive retro-computing build with physical chips
From 3 comments
Oh wow. I had thought this was, "I simulated it in a high level HDL and synthesized it to gates". No, this is... I built it with physical chips. Brilliant build and write-up!…
bjt2n3904 on HNWhat a mervell of retro-computing. I think the author should definitely contact Ben Eater, as this is an excellent material for the next video. Aside from this, Arduino shields…

Whether decoupling capacitors are used
From 1 comment
Look on Hackaday for "Why do you need to use decoupling caps". I am not seeing any talk of decoupling caps in any of this persons writeups. Maybe they are there and I am just not…

From Wikipedia: > Manchester code was used in early Ethernet physical layer standards So, not in later standards?
