What is it that you want to do with this computer? Are you just looking to tinker?
- Alekhine 6y agoYep, just tinker. I'm interested in a system simple enough that I can understand in it's entirety.
- the_hoser 6y agoI would recommend sticking to software-based systems on a modern computer, then. Virtual machines are really fun for this. The home computers of the 80s were anything but simple. They were very sophisticated, and the designs of those systems were very tightly integrated. Understanding them completely would be a daunting task. If you're not looking for something to base your master's thesis on, then I really recommend sticking to software. Find an existing virtual machine to tinker with, or build your own! If you don't have crazy performance or capability goals, then it's not as hard as it sounds.
