How I Started My Homebrew 8-bit Computer Project
I'm building my own 8-bit computer —
from scratch, fully soldered, and module by module.
Inspired by Ben Eater’s legendary SAP-1 and 6502 tutorials,
this series is my own take on homebrew computing — powered by a custom bus architecture called SEBA-1.
In this episode:
▶ Why I ditched breadboards and went all-in on PCBs
▶ How SEBA-1 works and how I’m connecting all the modules
▶ My long-term plans — including a future SAP-inspired CPU
▶ And a lot of soldering, logic chips, and retro vibes
🧰 Tech featured in this episode:
• 65C02 CPU & future SAP-1 module
• IDC40 ribbon bus (SEBA-1)
• Custom PCBs (UM-10W)
• Logic comparators: 74LS684 / 74ALS677
• Lab power supply, modular peripherals
