    New update: RAM complete, register to register function complete, if functions will come soon :D

    I wonder if sometime someone would be enough brave to make an 8086-compatible processor, except ports and memory (1mb==40 TPT screens)

    mniip, this computer will have ports, they are finished but haven't been attached to the computer yet.

    I'm a little new with electronics, so what is '4 bit' or '8 bit' or whatever? Is it the cables or connections or something?

    I might want to research on binary a bit :)

    The RAM is now DRAM.

    This is amazing.
    how does it work?(the commands,processing etc...)

    If you haven't found out already from somewhere then:
    binary is the language computers use
    bits are in binary which is made of 1's and 0's
    so a bit = a 1 or 0
    so 4 bits = 4 1's or 0's
    1= on and 0= off
    so wth 4 bits (all of) you would have 0000
    a byte is 8 bits and a kilobyte (KB) is 1024 bytes
    in counting you would go(with 3 bits for example) 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111
    with binary there are special numbers (2 4 8 16 32 64....)
    these are special because 1 bit has 2 possible values(0 and 1), 2 bits has 4 (00 ,01 ,10 and 11) ,3 bits has 8 (000 ,001, 010 ,011 ,100 ,101 ,110 ,111) and so on.....
    hope I helped answer your question(sorry if I made it sound more complex than it was and confessing things(I am good at doing that))
     if I made a mistake then someone please correct me as this was all(but the spelling of kilobytes) was from memory and may be wrong.
