Indeed. When I was doing my Master's, I saw undergraduates
being taught using a 'paper computer'. 16 words of RAM, 12
bit word. It was a set of boxes with index cards with
contents written on them. Plus a couple of boxes for
accumulator and flags. It was ctually a PDP-8 clone, but
only for simplicity.
