Implementing upgrades to my expandable address memory HDD - Apocryphan - 12-18-2014 Here is the album, barely finished before work, any questions, comments or suggestions are welcome, this is for a single line hex busser, i plan to make a parallel wired version and combine with my gui and just about every other circuit that i can http://imgur.com/a/AU3l8 . Another plan is to use the same address for multiple drives and adding another value to the serial bus, making it store and write a byte in 2the locations under the same address, still working on signing the output, i will have 2 weeks off soon to do any other ideas people suggest. "I know the pieces fit" -Maynard James Keenan RE: Implementing upgrades to my expandable address memory HDD - AFtExploision - 12-19-2014 How could more than one thing be stored at the same address? RE: Implementing upgrades to my expandable address memory HDD - Apocryphan - 12-19-2014 by changing the decoder on the second hard drive to pick up the 4th signal and write it, and having the decoder on the first hard drive pick up the 3rd signal and write it, so the same signal gets sent to both drives but each drive takes half the byte, and then just have the outputs join and have the second output arrive 2 comparators after the first signal, so when you recall the value stored at the address 1-0-3, both hard drives will output at the same time if you use equal length wires. so this doesn't store 2 values in 1 cell if that's what you interpreted, but uses 2 drives with the same address but different decoders. Good question, i hope this clarified a few things. RE: Implementing upgrades to my expandable address memory HDD - Apocryphan - 12-19-2014 32x32 display using the stackable hex to binary converters, each image uses 256 hex values to write the screen. That hard drive behind it holds 512 hex values. The display has a memory cell on each converter already, so now it's just a matter of chopping off the output latches and making the output just decide which half of the hard drive to unload into the gui, and of course that's just scraping the surface of all that entails connecting them with features. And i was playing around with making a 16 wire pipe and instant wire pipe, not sure if it's new or how well it bends upward but it's just something i've been kicking around in my head.
