By the standards of just a few years later, that's not so much a microcomputer as a nanocomputer!
Although not quite as nano as another design published in EA a couple of years earlier, the EDUC-8: http://www.sworld.com.au/steven/educ-8/ It had a *maximum* of 256 bytes -- due to the architecture, there was no way of addressing any more. Also it was divided into 16-byte pages, with indirect addressing required to access anything in a different page from the instruction. Programming for it must have been rather challenging. As far as I know, the EDUC-8 is unique in being the only computer design ever published in a hobby magazine that *wasn't* based on a microprocessor -- it was all built out of 9000 and 7400 series TTL logic chips! -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
