The Haydon Hoard - Kevin Appert & Andreas
Wagner
Kevin and Andreas will talk about the successful expedition to
Glen's house to retrieve the SVFIG and Mountain View Press inventory. Andreas
will describe the plan to sort and dispose of this material along with ten more
boxes of computer books which the Computer History Museum has sorted through
already. If there is sufficient interest, there might be a sorting party after
the meeting.

Kestrel-3 News Flash - Samuel A. Falvo
II
Kestrel-3 returns to using a MISC processor core. Sam will give us
the details at the meeting.
On the Feasibility of Using MISC to implement
RISC-V
For the last two months, I've been trying to implement a 64-bit
RISC-V core in Verilog to no avail. Neither pipelined nor hard-wired PLA
approaches (such as that used in the 6502) are tractable. Perhaps pre-decoding
RISC-V instructions into semantically equivalent MISC instruction sequences,
and feeding those to an embedded MISC core, will do the trick.
(Does this mean we might see a successor to the S16X4A?)
