A walk-through of the MegaProcessor, a giant, working model of a microprocessor built with discrete transistors.

Walk around inside a working processor and see all the components operating. Jason Fitzpatrick shows us the Centre for Computer History's MegaProcessor . MegaProcessor was built by James Newman and is the largest working model processor in the world.
