I think I need to write down a bit about the way I want to see interrupts to work out for the DWMC-16. Partially to be able to remember it for later, partially to answer a question I got after the last post.
And, once again, I will have to thank someone on the internet for giving me some constructive criticism, which made me do a little light reading and some thinking.
With some of the basics out of the way, I think I can now deal with an initial instruction set for the computer. I plan to do a somewhat minimal instruction set, but I do not think I will be able to keep it at less than 32 instructions as 'Minimal Instruction Set Computing' requires.
So, I've gotten me a few books on processor design, from the ground up.
One is a first edition of 'Digital Computer Electronics' by Albert Paul Malvino and Jerald A. Brown from 1977. The second one is 'The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles' by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken from 2005.
So, I have shared this project on a few Discord servers now and taken some criticism, especially for my memory considerations. And now that I've slept over that criticism and been at work thinking, I have to admit that some of my originally planned features are, well, feature creep.
