<OriansJ>Hagfish: he just didn't go far enough; He could have skipped the NOR entirely <OriansJ>I am thinking we should just describe such designs as microcode+ to indicate that basically the hyper-majority of the CPU functionality is hidden in the microcode. <OriansJ>much like a CPU design where virtully everything is in an FPGA but they claim it is only a handful of TTL chips are needed. <OriansJ>atleast the PDP-8/S had the balls of saying 519 logic gates and it actually was true <OriansJ>thanks to core memory which is really expensive these days
