I've had this discussion before, maybe you can shed some light on it; What combination of AND/OR/NOR would you use to get results like "!A" or "B-->A"? I understand how those functions can be combined to perform XOR/TRUE/NAND etc., but I can't figure out how to get IMPLIES/NIMPLIES results or A/B/!A/!B. Out of curiosity, how many ticks does the ALU take to calculate the longest operation? And since I can't get on the server and there are no pictures, could you at least tell me the dimensions of the computer?
Never mind about the functions, I saw your response to the same question in another thread. So you literally have to have a register that is always set as 0? It seems like there would be a better way, such as Guy's idea of having only a single OR gate with inverters on both inputs and flood carry to achieve any Boolean operation using only general registers.
