For those handy with a soldering iron...

Post by mal7921 »

... How would you like to build your own 8 bit computer?

Julian Skidmore did just that and with a little help from the BBC News website, brought it to life for all to see. Something to do if you want to get away from all the Royal Wedding stuff on the telly at the moment.

More info here. Happy soldering :)

Hey I was reading this story about ten mins ago, which I found on the CPC Wiki Forums. Reminded me of the late 1970s watching my uncle build his Nascom computer from nothing; now that was a beast!
