I'm currently toying with embarking upon a totally crazy hobby project, which would prohibit the use of any component that cannot be 100% verified manually: obviously this completely rules out all forms of integrated circuit—even discrete components would have to be manually tested and verified.
On the other hand, it does not rule out the use of pre-made circuits: provided that they can be verified (e.g. following the circuit tracks and testing individual components). It would be a significant timesaver if such pre-made circuits existed for generic tasks typical of basic ICs.
I appreciate that there's pretty much no demand for such circuits (except perhaps at a basic educational level), so imagine that they are not commercially viable. Certainly my searches so far have not uncovered anything.
But do they exist? Does anyone sell generic logic circuits from discrete components?
