Wilcox, Alan D.; And Others – Engineering Education, 1985
Describes an unusual project in which third-year computer science students designed and built a four-bit multiplier circuit and then combines it with software to complete a full 16-bit multiplication. The multiplier was built using TTL components, interfaced with a Z-80 microprocessor system, and programed in assembly language. (JN)
