Elektor started in the 60ties in Holland.

The Elektor 74 is a strange beast : clockless, instructies are tied to 
memory addresses . Could have hardware multiply and divide !
But it was also very inefficient in its usage of TTL.

No PCBs were published. I strongly suspect that no machine, other than 
the prototype, was ever made. Also software was not covered.

I  still need to put up my own 12 bit design.
