Goals

Goals, we need them for most projects and homemade computers are no exception. So what do I want my COSMAC ELF to do? Well I don't plan on this being my last 1802 based computer so I plan to keep this one simple and stick with the original plans shown in the first article describing the ELF in popular electronics. I'm keeping it nice and simple since this is my first homebrew computer ever. I'm read about them and have an ok understanding of how to build one using a z80 but this will be my first actual attempt. Plus I want to keep it retro. Once I've built this one I plan on making one similar to a Kim-1 in operation or maybe make one using a Parallax Propeller to give me easier access to a keyboard, video, etc. I'm not sure yet. We'll just have to see how this project goes first. ;)
