It is amazing to start getting almost daily reports back from all over the world of new Gigatrons seeing the light of day. This project started one year ago here on HaD with no more than a bunch of empty breadboards and some chips. Without any clue if the crazy minimalistic concept would be viable, and no clue on how the ALU or control unit were going to work. Thanks for your pictures and please keep sending them in!
For reference I took this breadboard photo on March 31, 2017. It accurately portrays the project status of exactly one year ago today:

I have no doubt that at some point the IO will be capable of running Gigatron software.
Are you sure? yes | no
Thats is wishful thinking. At best IO is 4 bit, slow and hex output but perhaps IO2 will be able to run GS :-D
Are you sure? yes | no
That is fantastic to see. If I had the funds then I would order one for myself :-)
