It's time - Ohio Scientific Model 600 build thread

Post by rubber_jonnie »

It was unfortunate that at the time I'd planned to build the Ohio Scientific Model 600, I lost my parents and so a big build like this was just not going to happen.

So, now things have moved on, I have decided I need to get back to it, there is a build thread here: OSM600 Build thread

So here we are with a clean slate:

And I will document my build here as I progress.

No solder mask. That's going to be interesting soldering.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...

It will be. It was done that way to match the original. Going by the photos of a finished one, the silk screen is 180 degrees out for the notch of the ICs, so some care needed.

I may be getting a 610 too, but the jury is still out for now.
