I once built almost a whole byte of ram. It was for my A-level electronics course work and was part of an electronic counter.

While in college and for my Industrial and Manufacturing course...I built a light sensor mechanism and app utilizing a 74181 ALU. Of course, I really enjoyed working with sheet metal and also making a mold figurine of Abraham Lincoln and pouring the pig iron in for the cast.  And working with wood on the lathe too. new edit: oh yeah, I'll take a look at the assembly program. should bring back memories of programming in it using a Heathkit trainer at school too.  |

@ Mousey... Heathkit... Was'nt that a name of a company that used to make project kits for Tandy/RadioShack and Maplin during the eighties ?. |edit| Also, if I'm not mistaken. Heathkit also used to make oscilloscopes. |edit| |
