They were easy, but not too easy. No SMD. Allãthrough hole parts.ããThe end result is a really nice CP/M machine (or BASIC machine, dependingãon the options you buy). I took my RC2014Zed and housed it in a nice boxãwith a 9" LCD and made a Kaypro-like setup.ãã AB> I assembled an Altair-Duino, PiDP-8 and PiDP-11.

It runs on a realãZ80 and works like a vintage computer.ããI like my Altair-Duino and PiDP-8, but really I just use them for blinkenlightsãmost of the time.ããã...

I want the scamdemic to be over so that I can stop having to ãwork from home so I can renovate the Man Cave for more vintage computerãspace.ããAll available storage space is already crammed with computers. I only haveãenough desk space to set up 4 vintage systems - 3 of which need to be ãmore-or-less permanent.
