Thanks for checking out and liking my ZX-80 Replica project. It does not even come close to any of your projects though. Looks like you've got way more spare time than me.. ;-)

  Are you sure? yes | no

Michael Gardi wrote 01/27/2022 at 18:08 • point

I'm actually pretty interested in building your ZX-80 Replica. It looks like the keyboard is out of stock right now, but I've registered for a notification when they become available.  

  Are you sure? yes | no

Michael Gardi wrote 10/14/2021 at 01:11 • point

That looks really cool. Right up my alley. When I'm done with the Sol-20 I'll dig in and have a closer look. Thanks for the tip.

  Are you sure? yes | no

your next recreation? Texas Instruments LCM-1001 Microprocessor Trainer (1976)  https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=999

  Are you sure? yes | no

This was a great suggestion. Thanks. I'm seriously thinking about making an LCM-1001 reproduction.
