There were actually half a dozen or so sites on the
webring the last time I looked.  Perhaps most of them
have been slashdotted as well. :(

The www.homebrewcpu.com guy is Bill Buzbee.  He used
to work at my company, and was one of my interviewers
when I joined.  A nice guy, and very much a software
guy, which makes it that much more cool what he's
done.   Although Bill's machine is running the
fanciest software of the machines on the webring,
Jim Doran's machine is a rather close competitor:

Jim used CMOS, but the D16 hews to a similar
old-school
design philosophy, and has a similarly beautiful and
over-the-top front panel.
