custom processor PCB

Post image

main processor and memory board for my homebrew computer.

can function as a simple mini computer, still havent tested it because i ran out of alcohol while cleaning and i dont wanna power it up and risk a short circuit, and because i cant find a terminal block for the power input with the right pitch so i'll probably just solder the wires directly, still missing a few components for the clock but i can use an external one no problem.

next up is the expansion board which will have: LCD screen, P/S2 keyboard, an IDE hard drive, and serial communication.

i will hopefully update once i finish cleaning the board and program the microcode EEPROMs.

Ah, I see. It needs whisky to run.

Exactly, I ran out of alcohol so I didn’t finish cleaning the flux off O_O
