With a better designed 4 bit alu slice, a 28 bit cpu is planned useing 7 bit ASCII. No 8 bit EBCDIC here.
(I am guessing no internet as well). A similar instruction set to the current 24 bit design, with perhaps load/store byte.
This also lets me break away from the 32K word addressing of the 1960's, to 512Kb of memory or 128K words.
Next month as I blew my budget on the 24 bit cpu. Alpine 2 alu. 11.7" x 5.2"+
