Here’s a cool sort of spare time project, construct a replica of the Apollo guidance computer.
Early computers are interesting. Because they’re simple, you can (if you like) actually understand the entire computer, from hardware to software. The AGC is the most interesting early computer because: a) it flew the first men to the moon; and b) it’s the world’s first integrated circuit (IC, or microchip) computer. It also has interesting architectural features.
