ECLair is a long-term project to build an ECL minicomputer.
Project Status
- 2012-11-24: Basic ideas/architecture starting to get put together.
Architecture Overview
- MECL-based
- 25MHz main clock
- 16-bit data width
- 24-bit physical address, 16-bit virtual address
- DMA support (at least for front panel, maybe one other DMA channel?)
- Microcoded, running control store in SRAM for speed
- Unless I can find equally-fast EPROMs
- Copied to SRAM from EPROM before the system starts
