Hello, I've done different types of programming and worked with basic electronics, but I've been curious about CPU's. I know some about how they work, but I really have no knowledge about what they are physically. I have a lot of other related questions too, so any comments are welcome.
the basic question - what is a CPU physically? what is actually in that ~1"x1" square?
How was windows DOS (or the first OS if not DOS) created? assuming there was no prior "structure" for commands/operations?
It had to be 'hard wired' in the circuits, right? how do you 'hard wire' something like that?
Any comments, advice, or related links are much appreciated!
thanks
