the problem is that templeos is exclusively x86 and uses the x86 style of I/O

@Deleted User is that ARM?

zC6 just sends requests to an output queue which is read by a device (hopefully on a zC6 computer's motherboard) called the component bus, which handles device identification and labelled device requests

@M4Gunner it's MIPS so it's RISC

wow MIPS

do you work with MIPS alot or are you just studying

for example, to output to the terminal, you send `0x02` (tells component bus to send data to another device) and then `0x00` (the standard ID for the terminal) and then whatever data the device accepts for input, in this case a single ASCII code point. to send another character, you have to repeat the first two outputs

``` Standard registration order:
ID 0: Terminal/Serial output (first)
ID 1: Graphical display
ID 2: Static data storage device (e.g Hard Drive)
ID 3: Keyboard input device
ID 4: Pointer input device```

consumer grade or niche?

whats the cpu supposed to cost

well, currently it's just an experiment, I doubt I could get it popular enough to ever be built or even to take off

are you gonna build one on 6000 breadboards?

potentially

but it'd have considerable benefits to anyone- the threading abilities are pretty important because it allows more work to be done hardware-level while still costing way less instructions than x86

i've always been fascinated with designing CPUs

might seem stupid, but I've built three gigantic ones.... in minecraft

redstone ninja

here's a pic https://i.imgur.com/J04NfYB.png

that's the first usable one

thats cool

is there a video?

nah, it's pretty old. not sure if I have the save file still, it's probably on my external hard drive somewhere

honestly though it's not that shocking, there's a lot of room for improvement

that massive array of buttons could be simplified down to only a few

ive seen a few similar on youtube

tbh i give up on fucking with the redstone before the shit was even out of beta

but i was a no-coding pussy back then

pic of the multiplication/division system i never tested https://i.imgur.com/7LBN1JW.png

it just works in theory

its literally never failed

lmao

around the back, ALU on the left https://i.imgur.com/SmvtBSu.png

needs moar lightstone

permanent storage device before it was attached https://i.imgur.com/eqeiovn.png

did you use minedit a lot?

for the permanent storage, yes

for the ALU and the prototype "video device" no

well actually

for the "video device" I did use worldedit to rapidly produce the memory

but for the rest, I remember making jokes about setting endurance to 10 in s.p.e.c.i.a.l

Have any of you seen the new SUG 0N-D35 motor controller model?
