I'm looking to sort of recreate the #setun or #setun70 processors for fun. They are Soviet computers created during the cold war. Soviet computing in that era is interesting caused they kinda had to create their own alternatives because of social isolation. While everyone when the tube route they created computers out of coil and ferrite cores. Since ferrite can be magnetised in multiple directions they created computers that works with 3 states. 0, 1 and T. Those units where not bits but trits. It's not binary but #ternary. Of course, that changes all the logic. According to my researches at the moment, it seems like memory reading was destructive so memory needed to be rewritten every single time. It's just an other world.

"Probably it is the first English paper about DSSP"
