Description

I borrowed a collector's TRS-80 Model III to take reference photos and then used FreeCAD to model each part of this all-in-one computer. I remember sitting down at one for the first time and being amazed that it had *two floppy drives*!!!

    I made a couple of tiny TRS-80s with working displays and put a couple of them up for sale. They immediately sold out so I guess I'll make more!

    Adafruit picked up the project for their CircuitPython newsletter:

    and then Hackster picked up on it:

    I never know which of my projects will attract attention!
