Usagi Electric has a video series[1] about investigating MC14500B (with help from Ken) and recreating it on a bread board. Later this led to him developing a variation on MC14500B using vacuum tubes[2].

I really would love to do a project like that, but I'm already trying to justify my "build retro computer using 20 yr old components that are now dirt cheap and a 35-40 yr old CPU projects" - e.g. 68010 and 286 and friends.

I'm way too young to have had the opportunity to experience these machines first hand let alone have any attachment to useful software that may have ran on them. Retro-computing has been a way for me to experience some of computing's past.
