Khong, S. Chang, V.D. It amused me to know about how the graphics and programs were squeezed in 16KB ROM cartridge and executed by an 8bit processor with just 3 internal resistors (Accumulator, X, Y) a 256 Bytes of RAM (127 Bytes of RAM for Variables & 127 Bytes shared with Television Adaptor Video memory) We demonstrated fabricating two variants of pumps with different sizes and operating flowrates using the developed kit. 2007,Materials Science and Engineering: C,27(2): 285292. At the same time, it generated tremendous respect for all the design engineers who used to work in the dark ages of electronics before HDL and EDA. Sahni, G.,Yuan, J.andToh, Y.C.
