"Brian Benchoff at Hackaday has an ambitious new project: a homebrew computer based not on a classic 8-bit processor like the Z80 or 6502, but on the 16-bit Motorola 68000. It's a backplane-based machine with wire-wrapped connections planned. His first summary post is here. Blinkenlights are planned."
[ED Note: With so much commercially available hardware getting more and more locked down, projects like this are a good reminder of what is possible for a dedicated enthusiast.]

I took a physics class a grad student where we built a 68000 based computer on a prototype board. Had a 8 seg display and a 16 key hex keypad. Had an DtoA and AtoD converters and was wired to a.speaker and microphone. Programmed it in assembly too.
Very fun project.
