Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Afternoon all,

I got a bit fed up with working on a bunch of parts spread over the table, so I faffed about with some old MDF drawer-bottoms, a 10" car LCDTV, a Perixx PS2 keyboard and a Pi-Picobuddy board to make something a little more user-friendly.

I really wanted one of those Tandy TRS-80 Model 100's back in the day, and latterly got an Amstrad NC100 and a Sinclair Z88 to play with. The limitation was always the relatively small character display, and the slab format has its flaws, but I still like it for the nostalgic value and now I can pick everything up and carry it around a lot easier.

Cheers
Dave
