"new" ?

i've been designing and building "micro computers" predating the 4004,
4040, 8080, 186, 286, the new magical 386, etc  .. than the world woke up

predating as in building computers from discrete ALU, nand, nor gates etc
and this new thing called the CRT "forked from the television"

predating as in writing machine language or assembly language

predating as in writing our own dip switch io drivers, screen drivers,
keyboard drivers, cassette drivers, paper tape drivers,  washing machine
disk drivers, mag tape drivers, etc decade(?) before ami bios and hundreds
of other BIOS's

IMO, you ought to do preparatory reading before planning a project.

i go with the flow from those changing the specs as they go as long as they
cut the check and understand the consequences of changing specs and
evaluated other possible "better" options

more info ... think "RollJam" .. think "Software defined radio" ...
combine, stir, add widgets and bake for 3-6months and deliver new hardware

cryptocurrency ico to raise funds and international payment of services
