It's been a while (new decade anyone?) but I'm back and today I'll be talking mostly about the accumulator/non-addressable register structure. It's an idea that I've mostly ripped straight from TIS 100, but I think I have a couple of ways of justifying its usecase.
First, I want to talk about components. A while back, I ended up ordering Ben Eater's breadboard computer kit (link here), and really liked some of the chips that he used. However, he still only worked with TTL components, which I may end up deviating from in the final design. I don't yet know too much about CMOS logic chips, but I may look into it, just because I've heard that power draw is much better on CMOS (I think it only draws power when switching between high and low?)
