That is some very interesting work. It reminds me of the discrete component
machines I have worked on. As Steve mentions, you will need a lot of
amplification to drive it. I think a Full adder or Half Adder Subtracter
could be reasonably operated. Good work on your part!

| (...) Discrete component machine - now they sound interesting. Is there a good overview of such things on the web anywhere? Amplification seems to be the common comment. I'll have to try and find my thinking cap again ;-) Cheers, Martin. (20 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.technic)
