Cool project!
Did you consider using logic closer to DEC's R-series logic, where flip-flops require only two transistors, with a heavy use of diode-capacitor gates and pulse amplifiers? It seems like this would perhaps be a more efficient use of vacuum tubes, as I would suspect a single (dual triode) tube could implement one flip-flop.
no, I didn't use any capacitor coupled stuff. That is a good idea though and I have yet to have the boards made for the accumulator, link and program counter so maybe I can experiment with those. Thanks for the good suggestion. Mike
Thanks,
