OK, I should have said "JIM BRICK NEED NOT REPLY". Silly me. I forgot you
were on this list. Damn it ;-)
Yes, and of course I still have my very own copy of "Mick and
Brick"...having designed a few (to say the least) 2901/2903/29203C systems.
I also have an original set of masks and plots for the 2901, or is it an
03...I don't remember. It was designed with CADDS4 from ComputerVision, a
system I was one of the developers of.
Regards,
Austin

Sure, Control Program/Monitor. I worked with Gary Kildall on CP/M
internals. I re-wrote CP/M for use in AMD's System 29, their Bit-Slice
development system. And I wrote the 'bit-slice debugger' for System
29. Actually, I co-authored the book 'Bit-Slice Microprocessor Design'
published by McGraw Hill. The only major bit-slice design book ever
published, translated into four other languages and used in
universities throughout the world.
Whew... this thread sure brings back some old memories...
