It's that time again...all hail the Turing test!

I can't believe that I let this pass last year. There were several articles on building your own Turing Machine (computer.)

• Byte Magazine, Dec 1976 an article on building your own.
• Byte Magazine, Dec 1981 another article on building your own. This article includes an emulator for the HeathKit ET-3400
• Byte Magazine, Apr 1981 this is an article on an emulator for the Turing Machine written in Motorola M6800 assembly language.

I'm certain that there were others, but these are the ones that I remember from my reading of Byte, back in the 1970s & -80s.
