Development Update: New Official Forums & 4004 Technical Logs
Quadium 4004 Workbench · published
Hello everyone!
I am excited to announce that the Official Quadium Forums are now live. As development of the workbench continues to evolve, I want to share the technical journey of building this project.
If you are interested in the "inner workings" of the Intel 4004, the first deep dive is already up: "The Art of Pointing: Why the 4004 RAM management will make you question your sanity."
I’ll be using the forums for:
- Detailed Dev-Logs: My deep dives into 4-bit architecture and 1970s hardware.
- Technical Q&A: Ask me anything about the 4004 or the Workbench.
- Sneak Peeks: Early screenshots of new features I'm working on.
- Vintage Computing: A space to discuss other historical systems and retro-engineering.
Beyond Quadium, I'd love to see the forums become a spot to talk about other vintage systems and hardware history. If you have a passion for early computing, you're more than welcome to share it there.
