Yup, pretty cool. I want to eventually build my own 68k machine from

Hardware, Software, and Interfacing" by Alan Clements. I bought my own

details. Very relevant for my electronic studies (which are loosely
tied to the Amiga)
I applaud "Make" too, I just hate paying $15 newsstand price for their

cheaper....

Crazy, but I'm cheering for him! Retrotastic! :-)
Crazy? I'm cheering too! It gives me great hope, seeing people doing
things like this. "Building stuff" seems to be coming back into style.
I applaud the "Make" crowd.
