So what are your goal ?

Mainly just learning. I was looking for some ideas on how to implement
it relatively easy. Yeah, I could spend days and weeks studying, but
beyond this project, I'm not sure I'd do much more.


Are you looking to build a bunch of these, or just one or two ?

One or two. I have a big budget, so I could just buy them, but it
would be a nice to make a few for the learning experience and as a nice
conversation piece.


Good Luck

I really suggest you look at my other post and do the k-map. Actually,
that is Karnaugh. You would be amazed at the number of EE grads than
can't design simple logic with a k-map. This would be a good learning
experience.

I eyeballed this page, and it looks reasonable. [You can never tell
with wiki though...]

I interviewed MIT grads that don't know the insides of a CMOS logic
gate as well as not being able to do K-maps. There are sophisticated
silicon compiler schemes using VHDL, but geez, in mixed-mode designs,
you have to be able to design simple logic.
