It is delightful to see the love of discovery and exploration unfold around an electronic dream: "What if I do X, Y, or Z?"
Where do people go to put their darlings to the test? Is there a place these radical designs compete to satisfy more than a personal curiosity posed as a "what if?" Some sort of Homebrew derby?
- codebje 6y agoI don't know of a competition, but there is an 8-bit retro discord server: https://disboard.org/server/643973143358341151 https://disboard.org/server/643973143358341151 Various projects get shown off, plenty of boards built around retro (and quasi-retro) CPUs, some more audacious stuff like rebuilding the Apollo Guidance Computer. The ultimate homebrew derby is those brave enough to make their designs available for sale, I suppose.
