In their words

If you are interested in delving deeper and investing some real time in learning, I very strongly recommend Ben Eater's "Building an 8-bit Breadboard Computer" series on YouTube.

I was quite impressed by Ben Eater's breadboard computer, and I would like to build something similar, especially with a VGA card like the one he built, but with my own 6845-like text mode generator using the full VGA resolution.
