Hello, everyone. My name is Joe, I am 17 years old,
and live in central NJ.
I would like to figure out how to build a retro-type computer, either from
plans or from a kit. I am currently considering the Micro-KIM, as well as
trying to build a mark-8. Not sure what I want to do. If anyone can help me
along with this, I would be very appreciative.
Expect to spend a good chunk of $$$ if you want something more than a toy.
Four thousand and ninety six words of memory was still considered
a large amount of memory in the mark-8 era, and many computers came with
that amount. 10,000x slower than computers of today so don't expect to have
much computing power, just have losts of fun. ('.~)
Thanks
Joe
