Nov 11, 2022 at 19:36 comment added jonk @supercat Yes. I personally wire-wrapped a lot and limited myself to about 4 MHz for anything I did in that way. And I never had any troubles. Beyond that I'd worry, though.
Nov 11, 2022 at 17:30 comment added Marcus Müller @supercat no doubt about that! The computer Ben Eater built also works. It's just, as said, probably not good for your sanity :)
Nov 11, 2022 at 17:27 comment added supercat @MarcusMüller: Back in the day, it wasn't uncommon for people to build 8086 or even 68000-based systems on breadboards. Clock speeds would have been rather limited by modern standards, but the things did actually work, somehow.
Nov 11, 2022 at 12:04 comment added Marcus Müller @RJR uff, that nest of (very tidy!) cabling suggests: really not something you want to build on breadboard if you value your sanity. Both for "oh, this is sooo many cables" and "oh, this is sooo many cable-board connection which individually can be a bit flimsy" reasons. The videos are very cool and instructional! I like it.
Nov 11, 2022 at 11:53 comment added RJR Great explanation. If you want to see what's needed, have a look here: eater.net/6502 - Ben's using a 6502, but the requirements are very similar.
