ABOUT
I am proud to say that my projects are sponsored by PCBWay.
I appreciate this opportunity to advance further in hardware studies and new architectures for retro projects.
During pandemics, I've been studing hardware architectures from old computers (like altair 8800, apple I/II and Sinclair's ZX80/81. First, I was interested in build a ZX81 because it was my first computer (I learned how to program basic on it). Grant Searle investigated every part of the sinclair zx80/81 and explained it in detail on his website. That allowed me to reproduce his project by designing a printed circuit board, acrylic case and keyboard made from pvc stickers. The result is shown below:
After that, I started to create an emulator to understand how it really works. My ZX80/81 emulator is available at github. This led me to other projects. There are many retrocomputing kits available and I had to try some of them.
Altair 8800 (Altairduino)
PDP-8 (PiDP-8)
PDP-11 (PiDP-11)
IMSAI 8080 (IMSAI 8080esp)
Kenbak-1 (uKenbak-1)
And yeah... I hosted a BBS at home on 90s and I had to recreate that experience...
