This 8-BYTE memory array and 8-bit half adder forms one of the smallest and most compact computer in Minecraft history. Using a piston oriented adding design, it manages to work at an extreme pace, and is fully scale-able. The inputs are: Value, Read, Write and Reset.
The adder takes 8 bits and works like a register, adding them to its existing value.
The entire computer can be operated from a reasonably sized room.
Although the interface is a bit basic (I have put up instructions) it can be adapted to support base 10 number input/output.
I have just discovered an easily fixable bug. To fix it, fly over to the top of the computer to where the sand blocks are. One of them is a GOLD block. Change it so it is the same as the rest of them. Also, memory cell 7 appears to be broken. This is because it is not wired up to the selector (I forgot to put the redstone on the path). Just fly round to the left of the machine and fill in the missing redstone (it is obvious).
(Will be fixed ASAP for main file)

Have something to say?
If you replaced the Adder with a Subtractor, and included compare and branch cuircuitry..
..Then you cauld implement the turing complete SubLeq machine model.
I like the concept of MC 'microcontrollers'; and i'de love to read more about this.. would you consider making a data-flow diagram of it's operation?
I love redstone stuff :)
