My own 8-bit memory

    hello,
    i just started making electronics, and i now made a 8-bit memory.

    there are 2 different versions, one which you can delete manually, you could use it for harddrives of processors.
    the other one will delete the information stored after reading it. i think you could use it for gpu's, like store the information of the picture it have to show next.
    its my first working electronic thing, so i would like to hear how it is, and how i could improve it.
    EDIT: this is now version 2, its half as big as before.

    If you would like to see 80 bits of memory that are read/write:


    The RAM is a set of 16 Pentabits (5-bits)

    why did you made your ram bigger than it has to be?

    a smaller one, inputs and outputs are exactly the same, but its like half as big as before.
    or did you made it that big on purpose?

    At the time I was making it, I made the first design that popped into my head, seeing as I was working on a deadline.

    80 bits = 10 bytes.


    did you know: a kilobyte is not actually 1000 bytes. because there are 8 bits not 10 to a byte, 1 kilobyte is 2^10 bits, or 1024 bits. MB=2^20, gigabyte = 2^30, terabyte = 2^40
