Homebrew Computer Resources
This is a collection of websites, videos, links, and other resources that I find usefull for learning basic computer architecture and Homebrew Computers as well as links to existing Homebrew Computers.
There are Two main catigories in homebrew computers. The first is to build a custom computer from a old fassioned CPU such as a 60502, Z80, etc. The other way is to create one’s own computer architecture and Implement it in some way. The ways that I know of implementing a custom architecture are; TTL (Transister Transister Logic), Vacumme Tubes, and Relays. Furthermore the components for this method can be connected using breadboards, Soldering, or Wire wrapping.
Resources on this page consist from begginer level to very advanced. Some are educational materials while others are logs/vlogs of a homebrew computer being built by an individual or group.
