Finally have been able to get IO to print out its first word. The home made opto-couplers had a little light leakage issue near the leds but sealed that end off with black silicone and now all of the circuit is working as desired :-)
A project log for The Cardboard Computer - IO is my name
My goal is a 4-bit CPU using recycled cardboard substrate and Diode Transistor Logic. This is an educational platform for me.
