From the project
The CFT homebrew minicomputer
The CFT is a home-designed, home-built mini-computer made from scratch.
I've designed and built the instruction set, data path, processor, computer, software stack, cross-assembler, emulator, software toolchain and even some of the tools needed to do all this. You can call this a ‘fantasy mini’.
This project has been going since approximately 2001, in my Copious Free Time.
