This might not be what ur looking for, but we should have a simple CPU that is broken down into its different parts, so that people who don’t know what a NOT gate is can see how the CPU works.
What I mean by broken down is that everything is spread out, and the components are simple. I.E., an RCA ALU that can do simple ALU things in one area, simple RAM in another area, the ROM explained, and some simple programs it can run, etc.
I realize that it would be ridiculously slow, because of the bussing and outdated components (that are simpler to understand) and bussing, but speed wouldn’t be the point.
