Progress update on my 8-bit computer

First, here is what it currently looks like.

I now have every part except for an 8 bit binary comparator. (It can work just fine without that though.)

Right now, I’m learning how to design circuit boards, and hopefully once it’s working like it should, I’ll order a board for it.

Also, I’m thinking about adding a really cool register to it, but that won’t be added till the whole thing works.

TO-DO LIST:
  • get bigger eeprom chips to support more than two flags
  • get binary comparator chip
  • expand ram to 16 bits so I can have more instructions
  • find a binary multiplier circuit that isn't serial
  • find a way to add persistent memory
  • construct a FILO register array. (no idea how that's gonna turn out, but this is the part I mentioned above, Ind its been really fun trying to design it!)

Kudos!
Maybe PM @blujay about the circuit board. I feel you guys could learn a lot from each other.
