I'm building a stained glass window for our front entrance, as a sometimes chip designer it's going to be a half adder (so much much smaller than a pentium) - the big challenge is showing all the layers (si, implantation, poly, metal, vias etc) I'm only doing 1 level of metal. The result is going to be more of a thin layered sculpture than a traditional stained glass window

Neat. 2 RTL gates -> 16 CMOS transistors (10 for XOR and 6 for OR)

#34That's some serious...multithreading! (I applaud others for resisting such cringe, but I just couldn't help myself.)
Just wait for the Pentium 4 with hyper-threading.

I always look askance at a blanket statement.

#36Author here for your obscure Pentium questions...
I had a dual Pentium II board (made by Tyan, with an Adaptec Raid Option slot) but I don't recall ever seeing a dual P54C board. Did a mainstream motherboard maker ever release one, to your knowledge?
there was tyan, supermicro, and MSI? at least
i thin my board with the dual pentium 60mhz chips was msi.

Don't bother with the rectilinear pakeha layouts, do your half adders in curvilinear patterns, Koru style

Actually I misspoke, it's a full adder and very similar to the one on page 5 here

I am pakeha and tangata triti .... now I have an idea for the next window (I was thinking about a neuron ...)

#40Absolutely fascinating article. I wasn't aware of any of the Navajo history of Farichild Semiconductors.
Thanks for sharing.
