Home brew CPU

Wouldn’t it be cool to build your own CPU… especially one that actually runs a modernish OS?

From the site…
“Magic-1 is a homebuilt minicomputer. It doesn’t use an off-the-shelf microprocessor, but rather has a custom CPU made out of 74 Series TTL chips. Altogether there are more than 200 chips in Magic-1 connected together with thousands of individually wrapped wires. And, it works. Not only the hardware, but there’s also a full ANSI C compiler for Magic-1 (retargeted LCC), and a rudimentary homebrew operating system.”
