August 2018 teaser

This Month, who knows where things will take us, maybe we will take on the idea of developing a 36-bit computer?  Of course there are those probably thinking "Why not just go 64-bit?".  Well extra cost for one thing but building an extra 4-bits onto an existing 32-bit system may be a saving in costs and developement time.  Think what 36-bits could give the end-user in terms of colour (or color) definition vs. the traditional defacto-standard of 24-bits!



Utilising something that provides some familiarity like Motorola's 68EC060 running at 75 Mhz may also provide a path for backward compatability with computer like the Atari ST.  So let's get out the schematics and start designing...
