Wow you must be as old as me. I worked on a 16 bit mini built entirely out of TTL in the mid 70's and then built my first 'home computer' on veroboard using an 8080.
Aye, when I was working with the Intel 4004, we used to dream of a 16 bit mini built entirely out of TTL.

They certainly were pioneering days. My wife worked in the computer suite at ICL Letchworth - a huge air conditioned complex with less computing power than todays desktop PCs. I was developing peripheral interfaces for printers and cassette drives. Can't remember if IBM had invented hard drives yet.
