At that time I You may wish to look at the paper "The Design of an Asynchronous Microprocessor" by A. Martin, S. Burns, et.al. in Advanced Research in VLSI, Proceedings of the Decennial Caltech Conference on VLSI, March 1989 or "The Design of a Delay-Insensitive uP: An example of Circuit Synthesis by Program Transformation" by A.
