8-bit computer update

Caption notes

Ben Eater answers common questions about his homemade eight-bit computer and announces a plan to rebuild it from scratch in explanatory videos. He describes testing and experimenting with modules separately before addressing their coordination, using the book’s SAP-1 as a model and adding instructions such as stores and jumps. His teaching goal is understanding without taking the design on faith, supported by slowing or stopping the clock to troubleshoot one step at a time. This is a project and teaching-plan update rather than a complete construction tutorial. This guide does not verify the visible wiring, signals or operating state, or guarantee the announced release schedule.
