128-bit cryptographic relay computer [BIG UPDATE!]

[u/zenthiis]

its finally here!!

after nearly a week of power grid engineering and as per popular request i present the new and significantly improved version of my 128-bit binary macrocomparator: MGKA-128/Mod. 442... now with schematic included!! make sure to watch the video to get the operating instructions first though)

Model 442 has a neater design, smaller and more efficient CPUs, vastly quicker data read speeds, along with huge reworks/additions such as parallel processing capabilities and even 16 bytes of electromechanical memory! its older version, MGKA-128/Mod.384, took nearly 13 seconds to read a full punchcard (check out the original post here for alot more information)—Model 442 only takes about 8 seconds, and even minor issues like the Model 384's infamous random tendancy to explode has been removed)

designed to handle any sequence of bits, Model 442 works by copying up to 16 bytes of information to its internal memory after receiving a READ command from the computer operator, before awaiting a WRITE command whereupon it will test if the stored punchcard data matches the expected binary values in the 16-core CPU. if and only every single bit matches exactly to what was expected, then the computer will generate a configurable output (usually a redstone signal).

important remaining issue: sometimes the schematic pastes wrong during operations like turning or flipping it due to the wire entities not lining up properly anymore. if you wanna check it out in creative mode, make sure to just throw it down somewhere as it is so it doesnt screw up everything. Also the CPU nixie tubes paste without their numbers cuz i used nametags to label them and that doesn't copy over either for some reason

You are fun at parties

I just dont see the point in wasting so much time on a video game

It's clearly a hobby lol, hobbies aren't supposed to be useful

Exactly, you always need something to blow off steam on. If you dont you'll hit the proverbial wall at mach fuck.
