Re: Who wants to see a 100 Mhz Gigatron?
I cannot speak for the two fathers of the Gigatron themselves but my guess is that the Gigatron is how it is because this is a trade off between multiple goals to reach: making a TTL computer, making it as easy as possible to understand, to build for almost anyone, keeping costs reasonable, making a...

Re: Who wants to see a 100 Mhz Gigatron?
I have carefully read your post but my knowledge in electronic does not allow me to elaborate how feasible it is. :-( But I would like to put it in perspective: a Gigatron at 6 MHz vs a "Gigatron" at 100 MHz are a bit like an Intel 8086 vs an Intel Pentium (P5) meaning 15 years of technolo...

Gigatron Black Edition from France
Hello to the Gigatron community and my best wishes for this new year 2022! I am an electronic and retro-computing (8-bit maximum) enthusiast. I recently discovered the Gigatron TTL and was more than keen to assemble one and see the result by myself. So I ordered and just received the kit from Budget...
