Oh, by the way, I'm giving up on building computers that can program themselves. I just finished the instruction set for my next computer and wow, using all 30 (yep, not 29; hax) bits of FILT to store instructions (and nothing else, don't worry) has its advantages over using only 16. No more immediates encoded in separate cells, yay.

It is certainly possible. What I said wasn't possible is programming it the way real life computers are usually programmed (that is, using some high-level language).

I thought that having this be able to be programmed from within itself would be possible. It could be like in the Synergy PC. You write out the program as a string on the terminal part, then the computer convertes the made up programming language into what the computer actually uses, and then uses CRAY to put it onto a rom. The rom then is put into the computer with the cut paste, and then it can run it. Or something like that.

It's just not a goal I'd ever set for myself simply because it's impossible to reach in TPT. I *have* set new goals and *am* working on a new computer though.

U should make a computer that has RAM and computing power anything close to what a normal one has that would be cool

You still have the beta rom from the P1 loaded into ram. Kinda funny.
